COMMERCE.

Loxnort MARKETS, AUGUST 17.
COTTON.—The demand for Cotton in the early
part of last week was brisk and ertensive, the prices
• gradually imprcr:ing ; on Thursday, however, tEe
request was checked by a declaration of the East In-
dia Company, 2200 bales for sale la October, and
the general opinion entertained that the quantity
I would be materially increased. The purchases of
Cotton since Tuesday last exceed 2600 packages :-
1060 Pernambuco fair quality, in bond, chiefly at
180. a few good lsid. and 19d. 30 fine Sea Island%
duty paid, 2s. Bd. 150 fair Bowels 141 d. and 14.d.
40 fair Carricou 16d. and 16,}d. a few Grenada 15 d.
and 16g. Berbice 15id. nearly 1200 Bengals 61d. to
'ad. very ordinary to good common quality ; sold in
bond. In consequence of the East India declaration
the Bengals offer id. to id. per pound lower than the
prices previously obtained. The importations of Cot-
ton since our last are-1021 bales Brazil, and 95
bales West India Islands.

- Come.—The public pales of Coffee brought Nor-
ward last week were very extensive, 949 casks and
1484 bags ; the whole went off with great briskness,
and on Friday an advance of 2s. to Ss. per cwt. took
place generally, and in some instances a greater im-
provent was realized ; very extensive parcels of or-
dinary St. 'Domingo sold at 120 s. good ordinary Ja-
maica l los. to 113 s. a large parcel of fine ordinary
Havanna!) sold low in proportion, realizing only 120 s.
since Friday the demand by private contract hum-
ther subsided: the prices sere, however, fully main-
tained.
.The accounts received from Holland, the
Flame Towns, &c. yesterday, were very favourable;
the demand for Coffee had bein brisk and extensive,
and generally the prices were improving. The fa-
vourable accounts from the Continent have, however,
little effect upOn the market at present ; very few
purchases were reported by private contract ;—the
public sales this forenoon consisted of 550 casks 124
bags Coffee ; the prices were fully maintained, yet
there was apparently some in the market,
and a considerable proportion taken in ; the quantity
sold, however, supported*the advance of last week,
and in several instances prices is. higher were ob-
tained ; fine ordinary Jamaica, in extensive parcels,
116 s. and 116 s. 6d. ordinary middling lids. to 121 s.
good middling 1345. The Dutch Coffee found few
purchasers ; good middling taken in at 128 s. to ljOs.
good middling Dominica, in extensive parcels, 1395.
6d. and IS4s. generally, the Coffee market may be
stated steady, and the advance fully maintained, yet
without the briskness of last week.
SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovades towards
the close of last week considerably revived ; there
was more business doing on Thursday and Ft iday
than for some weeks preceding; the prices were li:tle
varied ; a few good Sugars realized prices a shade
' higher, but no general advance could be stated. A
public sale of Barbadoes Sugar went off with some
briskness at hi,;her_prices than could be obtained by
private contract. The market this forenoon has bee's
steady, the purchases considerable, but no variation
in the prices can Ge stated ; a general opinion had
been entertained that from the briskness towards tte
close of the market last week, there would be an ex-
tensive and animated demand this forenoon ; the r.n-
ticipation has not been realized, but the market is
steady, and fully supports the former currency. The
public sale of Barbadoes Sugar, 150 hhds. 40 tierces,
went off much about the previous prices, good white
87s. 6d. '2O hhds. good Antigua Sugar sold I s. higher
than the prices by private contract. The demand for
refined goods was steady during the early part of
last week ; oa Friday and Saturday the request be-
came brisk and rather extensive, particularly for
Lumps ; the prices advanced 2s. to Ss. and goods
rather difficult to be obtained ; the demand is not
confined to the home trade asformerly ; the enquiries
were-directed to parcels fir immediate shipment.—
There were few sales of Foreign Sugars ; 127 hhds.
Havannah Muscovades, by public sale, went off
heavily ; good white, but no strength, S9s. inferior
345. to'36s.

Sela.us..6pices continue neglected ; the purchases
since the East India sale have been trivial ; no varia-
tion can be stated in the currency.
Oats.—The accounts respecting the Greenland
Fisheries continue favourable. On Saturday the first
intelligence respecting the success of Davies' Straits
ships reached-London; the first accounts appear ra-
ther favourable, the vessels averaging from four to
five fish each ; the priers of Whale Oil are de.clining.
