CCM-MERCE.
LONDON. AIARKETS, MAT

Cotrow.---The speculative demand for Cotton, and
the request for export continue very extensive ; it is
reported about 1,000 bags Surats have been taken
during the last week on 'peculation, the prices hyr
not transpired, but .t is believed the parce's purchased
are at an advance of id. per Maud on the .prices car-
rent about ten days ago ; thaildeafee export, since
Tuesday last, amount to nearly RIO. bags, and tllc
purchases of Pernambuco Cotton would have been
much more extensive, but none of good quality are
at present offering ; the particulars are, 80 Pernam-
buco, good quality, 191 d. inferior 181 d. 50 good lkt-
bias 171 d. 20 good Maranhanu 17d. 50good Bow.
eds 1214. to 13d. 140 Surats 7id. to Bid. 420 Ben-
gals good 61d. ordinary fair shipping quality 6d. to
id. a few very orifiliarYk all these were sold in
bond for shipping ; the only purchases of Cotton,
duty paid, were 80 Paras dsrd. and a, few Bahia:, at
18d. per pound.
Straws.—The prices of Sugar continue to decline;
a reduction of 2s. to Ss. may be stated. New Mas-
covadft in plentiful supply ; there were, however,
few purchases of Muscovades this forenoon by pri-
vate contract, the buyers awaiting the event of the
public sale; it consisted of 199 hhds. new Sc. Lucia Su-
gars, of a fair quality ; the whole went of heavily
ordinary brown 58s. to 61s. good brown 645. to6ss.
strong grey 635. to 655. 60 Demerara soft brown
625. to 635. 6d. SO ordinary Jamaica 625. to 635. 6d.
The market since Tuesday last may be stated at the
reduction we have mentioned, 2s. to Sc. per cwt.
good Sugars are, however, still comparatively scarceo
and rate high in proportion to the ordinary brown
descriptions. The refined market fray again be
stated at a considerable reduction, few or no pur-
chases are made for exportation, and the wholesale
grocers buy on a very limited scale, for the home
consumption of the country, merely to supply the im-
mediate wants of the trade ; a general opinion WAS
entertainedi that, from the decline in Raw Sugar,
the refiners would be induced to manufacture on a
more extensive scale.

LIVERPOOL, MAY IA
There has !Jet* a good demand, during the whole
of the week, for most descriptions of Cotton, particu-
larly for Boweds and Orleans, which, havidg been
in request for exportation, as well as for home con-
sumption, have advanced about id. per pound; yes-
terday there were larbught _forward, by section, 162
Sea Islands, which went of steadily at 2s. to 2s.
for middling to fair ; averaged 2s. Id. per pound.—
The total tales of the week amount to about 9,900
bags ; the arrivals are 24,120 bags.
