LONDON MARKETS, SEPTEMBER 1.

Col-mfr.-There has been a moderate demand for
Cotton since Tuesday last. The purchases little ex-
ceed 1200 packages, viz.-300 Pernams 2s. 2d. to
2s. 2td. S5O Babies 231 d. to 2s. O'd. 50 Grenada
22d. 200 Boweds 21d. to 22d. and 300 Bengals 9td.
to 100. the latter in bond. The sales have been
nearly in proportion to the export houses, to specula-
tors, and to the trade.
LIVERPOOL, AUGUST 29.-Our Cotton market re-
mains very steady. In the early part of the week
there was some enquiry for Pernams on speculation,
and this description is, in consequence, a shade
higher ; some business has also been done in Boweds
for export to Flanders and France. The public sale,
of Tenessee and Mississippi Cottons brought forward
yesterday went off very steadily, and at fair prices
considering the quality, which generally was very
inferior, there were sold 400 bales at 19d. to 19id.
for inferior, and 201 d. to 201 d. for fair quality. The
whole sales amounted to about 6030 bags. The ar-
rivals are 7997 bags.
SUGAR.-The demand for Muscovades last week
was limited. This forenoon there is a complete stag-
nation in the market ; the request for the present has
entirely subsided ; the whole sales of Muscovades to-
day do not exceed 100 casks. No depression what-
ever can be stated in the prices. The business done
in refined goods was very considerable ; the prices
were t.tradually improving ; the advance of Is. soT.s
readily realized, but towards the close of the week
the request was not so brisk, though no reduction in
the prices can be stated. The request for Molasses
rather gave way. Foreign Sugars were erquired
after last week, but the request appears to have sub-
sided-no sales to-day.
Coerze.-This forenoon a depression of fully 3s.
per cwt. has taken place ; the public sales consisted
of 387 casks and bags, of whic.-. a very small pro•
portion was sold ; the few lots disposed of went at a
depression of 3s: to 4s. per cwt.-good ordir.ary Ja-
maica, in extensive parcels, taken in at 152 s and 1335.
(the latter approaching to fine ordinary) which last
week sold freely at 1565. and 1575. fine ordinary 1555.
id. which last week realized 160 s. fins ordinary to
ordinary middling sold at 160 s. which may be con-
sidered higher in proportion than the interior qua-
lities. The Coffee market may this morning be stated
heavy at the depression of 3s. per cwt.
Ice---There were considerable enquiries after
Rice last week, but few purchases of any extent were
reported. This forenoon a public sale was brought
forward, it consisted of 5005 bags East India ;-the,
first pile, very good white, sold 3Oc. to 325. a shade'
inferior 30s. ordinary 28s. 6d. to 295. The sale may
be stated to have gone off steadily at very full prices.
Cocoa.-The prices of Cocoa are advancing.--1
By public sale last week, 259 bags Grenada, of a
fine quality, 100 s. to 116 s. 6d.
SPICES.-The demand for Pepper has subsided.-
Pimento in last week's public sales realized 101 d to
101 d. Ginger in last week's public sales, Jamaica
white, £l2. 3s. black SOs. to 91s. And this forenoon,
J.fmaica white, £9.25. to £l3. Barbadoes 80s. to S-Is.
Pimento is rather lower, in to-day's sale, realizing'
101 d. and 10id.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALT ow.--The demand for
Tallow has been brisk and extensive ; the prices ad-
vance with great rapidity : Yellow Candle Tallow
is 7s. to Ss. per cwt. higher since this day week. The
great improvement is chiefly owing to extensive spe-
culators, who had sold large parcels to be delivered
daring the season at a certain price ; and, as they
had no means of fulfilling the contract but by pur-
chasing in the market, they have lately become alar-
med at the gradual advance, and came forward to
purchase last week, or to pay the differences between
the prices contracted at and the currency of the mar-
ket : these speculations have lately been very com-
mon, and have been carried on to a very great ex-
tent. Hemp has become more in request ; the prices
are advancing. Flax is also more in demand, and
the holders look with some confidence for an improve-
ment in the prices.
mists PftovtsroNs.-There is no material altere-
d= iu Beef and Pork. Bacon is advancing. The
scarcity of Butter occasioned by the excessive drought
is now very apparent ; Irish Butter may again be
quoted at an advance of 2s. to 4s. Dutch descriptions
are greatly higher, and the holders of Butter still ex-
pect a further improvement.
00..--The reports of the Davis Straits fishery still
continue to be very indifferent, and as there is a con-
siderabla speculation in Fish Oils, the prices continue
to advance : the currency at the out-ports is also on
the rise ; the holders expect, with confidence, that
the exports this year will be extensive. Greenland
and Southern Oils may be quoted at the advance of
El. Cod and Seal Oils are considerably higher. In
Seed Oil there is little variation.
TOBACCO.-There has been a regular demand fur
Tobacco ; 765. 6d. has been refused for Virginia, Pe-
tersburgh inspection ; and 82s. 6d. for Richmond in-
spection. Maryland cargoes 87s. 6d. to 90s. and
some parcels have been sold at 925. to 9.55. per 100
pounds, manifest weight ; 60s. to 655. has been paid
for Kentucky cargoes. The demand for stems has
increased, and 13d. to I3ld. per pound can be got
for parcels of the new crop expected here in this
month. Virginia parcels here lOd. to 1211 at the
latter price 52 hhds. were sold yesterday.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-There have been
few purchases of Rum since our last ; the prices could
not be stated at any variation until yesterday, when
a decline of fully Id. per gallon took place. Brandy
is very heavy. In Gleneva no variation.
