4. LIVERPOOL, JULY 20.-The demand for Cotton
has remained very steady during the week, and on
Wednesday it was particularly brisk, the Manchester
market on ;he preceding day having continued
rather to improve. Prices have. been again stiffening,
and most descriptions are now fogy Id. per pound
above last week's. Yesterday there was a public
sale, which went off with some spirit, consisting of
Barbadoes, at 190. for fair tcr2ltd. for very good ;
West Indies at 180. for ordinary, to 20d. for good
and clean ; 58 Carthagenas Incl. and 18d. Lagui-

SUGAR,--•There was a greater disposition evinced
last week to do business in Muscovades, and as the
holders were ready to meet the views of the buyers
by submitting to a small depression, generally the
prices were Is. a 2s. lower ; good working Jamaica
Sugars were sold at 695. 70s. and 71s. some brown
§urinams 675. the grocers were the principal pur-
chasers. 174 birds. 74 tierces Borbadoes Sugar were
put up to public sale, the whole went off freely, but
the prices were fls. a Ss. lower; fine White 925.6 d.
a 955. 6d. good 90s. a 925. ordinary and middling
White from ills. a 88s. middling brown 71s. and
71‘ 6d.

The delivery of Mnscovades frctin the warehouses
'continues exceedingly extensive ; and this forenoon
there is a very considerable revival in the demand ;
more business has been done than for a considerable
time past ; the chief purchasers are from 701. a 755.
The prices are a shade higher.
The Refined market continues to decline, the
'holden still incline to give way ; brown Lumps
were done at 100 s. but the business effected in the
market has been very trivial. Molasses were steady
at 245.

The demand for foreign Sugars has been very li-
mited for a length of time ; 300 boxes of Havannah
were attempted by public sale last week, the first lot,
middling White, was withdrawn at 655. the whole of
the Whites were then taken in at the same rate ;
atter the first lot, good Brown had been taken in at
545. the whole of the latter description were immedi-
ately withdrawn.
Correa.—This forenoon a small public Mlle was
brought forward, consisting of British Plantation
Coffee ; the Jamaica descriptions in the sale went off
with briskness at prices 2s. a 3s. higher than last
week, extensive parcels good ordinary selling at 655.
a 655. 6d. fine ordinary 675. 68s. and 69. The
Dutch Coffee is without variation, and met a languid
demand, middling being taken in at 7.5 i. 6d. good
middling at 84s. 6d. generally the Codee market
may be stated improving, with the exception of the
late supplies from the colonies of Demerara Sid Ber-
bice ; and for the latter, to-day 2s. a 3s. more was
offered than could be realised last week ; the prices,
however, still rate exceedingly low.
Pitovisions, &c.--There is more business doing in
the Provision market—prime Beef and Pork are on
the advance. Bacon continues in steady demand,
the consumption considerable. The supply of Irish
'Butter is very extensive, and it is stated, that parcels
on the passage are offering considerably under the
lira cost price.
HEMP, FLAN., TALLOW. &c.—The prices of Tat.
low are without variation, the market remains heavy;
Yellow Candle, in large parcels, at last prices.—ln
Hemp or Flax there is so little doing, that the prices
are in a great measure nominal. By letters yester-
day from St. Petersburgh, the Exchange had again
declined : it was a shade under 10.

SPICIIM—There appears rather a reviving demand
for Spices, but on account of the dull state of trade,
the buyers are of opinion they can purchase almost
every article at an excessive low rate. The offers
for good privilege Pepper were a fraction under our
last quotation, but the holders were firm at and above',
that rate ; the consequence was, very little business
was effected. Company's Nutmegs and Cinnamon
find purchasers. There has also been more inquirers
after Company's Clovei. Several parcels of Ja-
maica and Barbadoes Ginger were brought forward
by public. sale last week, and met.a ready sale at the
late prices. Pimento, also, in very considerable par-
cels, the demand appears very ecinsideraWe.
TOBACCO.—There are considerable orders from
the Continent for-Tobacco, but so limited as to price,
that they cannot be at present executed. Some newly
arrived Brazil Leaf was sold fast week at fiti.
Ou.s.—The prices of Greenland Whale bil are
advancing, no accounts of the. success of the fisheries
having been yet received. The trade purchase sp.l-
- ; South Sea may be stated sel higher ; Lin-
seed Oil may be stated a shade lower ; the prices of
Rape are improving ; in the other descriptions there
is little variation.

RUM, BRANDY, AND NOLLANDS.-.4LUM cannot be
stated lower. except fine Jamaica. Two considerable
contracts of fine flavoured Sdshave been effected at 2J.
per gallonflower than what was considered the mar
ket currency. There was a public sale this forenoon
of Leeward Island Rum, bonded from April to Oc-
tober, 181.5,,pr00f and over, sold from 2s. SJ. a 2,.
64. of a fair quality, but from being landed so long,
the deficiency would probably be two gallons per
puncheon ; common Jamaica Ss. Id. a Ss. 2d. the
whole went off freely.
Sits.-R-The prices of East India Silk are nomi-
nal, on account of the commencement of the Com-
pany's sale.
NAVAL Svonns.—There have' been no arrivals of
Rough Turpeatina last week, some parcels, formerly
at market, have, hpwever, been sold at a depression.
'fbe prices of tar may generally be stated at a shade
lova. also at a 11114 depression.
