Corrox.—The holders of Cotton evince much
Ermness in maintaining the late currency ; the stock
here of every description, except Bengali, is esaremely
limited, and they calculate that. as the markets of
Liverpool and Manchester continue steady. the sales
considerable, and no imports on account of the eas
terly winds. that the demand for manufactured goods
and twist at Manchester continuing, and the reports
for both latter articles from the Leipsic fair being fa.
vourable. from these considerations they feel conk-
deist that no depression of consequence can take place.
in the raw article; the inquiry rather increased last
week, and the sales are estimated to exceed 800 bags
' Bawds at 120.-a 141 d. the only other purchases
are 44) DemArAras, which were brought forward by
public sale, and went off at 201 d. and by private
contract a small parcel of Boweds were reported at
21d. Penman at 2s. 3d.

litioaa.—Sugar continued exceedingly heavy du-
ring all last week, and towards the close of the mar-
ket a very considerable depression was submitted to:
middling Jamaica Sugar, which at ibe greatest height
of the late prices had been held at 117 s. and 88s. were
sold at 85s. and 1341. by the importers. The Mums-
elides in second bands were held with greater firm-
ness; we believe no Muscovades in the hands of spe-
culators sere sold at such a reduction. This fore-
noon several extensive holders of Muscovadts (im-
porters) early evinced a determined resqlution of ef-
fecting sales at whatever prices could be obtained ;
'the consequence has been a further reduction of Ss.
per cwt. the sales are chiefly Jamaica`—sirong browns
were sold at 795. a 79i.'64. and some of very good
quality, which in the late high market had been held
about 925. were disposed of at 841. a 85i.; all the
purchases were in the same proportion, mak.og a de-
pression in the prices of Muscovades from the late
highest state of the market of 6s. a 61. per c wt. The
cause of the alarm in the Sugar market is we believe
'occasioned by the great decrease in the deliveries from
the West India Warehouses, compared with last
year, which is no doubt the result of the great ad-
vance in the prices ; and as the stocks are rattier in-
creasing. on account of the decline in the dettvery,
and rather extensive imports, the holders have taken
an alarm; the greater proportion of the holders it it
however to be mentioned, will not submit at present
to any depression, as they calculate that the first
change of wind will bring in the whale imports for
the season, except a very trivial quantity; and that
doe stock in the warehouse-is still 12,457 casks defi-
cient of the quantity Giblet season. Sugars can how-
ever be obtained freely at the depression we have men-
tioned, but we belief:rot) very low browns have been
sold; we however put them at a proportionate de-
cline. One of the reasons stated this forenoon for
the determined resolution of the importers to effect
sales is, that there is little doubt that an additional
import duty of as. or Ss. will take place when the
next aggregate averages are taken. Refined Sugars
gave wayda. a Ss. per cwt. last, week; the reduction
attracted the attentioo of the shippers, but no consi-
derable bisiness was effected : the trade shrived every
:inclination to effect sales, as the supply at market
iras very' considerable, and the shipping season far
advanced. Molasses -were in good demand, and,
'contrary to the general expectation, the prices rose
considerably. There is little business done in the
Refined market this morning, but there is no question
`that a farther depression must take place, though pro-
bably not in proportion to the decline in the raw ar-
ticle, °as reaped has for a length of time raced low in
proportion—middling Lumps are offering at 1011 s.
and 109s.—Molasses are heavy at our quotations, as
the orders for refined goods in town are represented
to be extensive, but limited to low rates, it is not at
all improbable that the moderate prices which the re-
fined market is-now declining to, .may facilitate sales
to a considerable extent; the trade fully expect this,
even if the raw market should remain heavy. In foreign
Sugars there was little or no business effected during
last week, and no sales are reported this forenoon.
Corral.—'torte were only three inconsiderable
public sales of Coffee alter the day of our publication
hat week, consisting of 591 casks, and 481 bags,
the .qu'antity was inconsiderable, yet, from the li-
mited demand the sales-went off heavily, and a con-
siderable proportion was taken in : the prices of what
was sold may be stated al a depression of is. a 2s.

high rates, fine ordinary Dutch realized 995. mid-

high prices of the market.
lanai Paoriswas, etc.—There is no new Beef yet
at market; the prices of the old remain steady._
Pork is extremely scarce, and it is calculated that the
limited stock is inadequate to the usual demand of
die syason.—Bacon is still very heavy.-. There -has
been considerable parcels of Irish Butter taken on
speculation; the prices are considerably higher, and
a general report is circulated (for which there appears
little foundation), that the make is very deficient of
an average quantity.
