LONDON MARKET S, ZUG UST 12.

Corrost.-.,The Cotton market remained withont
interest until Friday, *ben acconnts were received
from Manchester of a great improvement for Cotton
goods and Twist. The reltirst fir Cottons became
immediately brisk, and it is estimated that on that
day and on Saturday above 5.500 bags Bengal
changed hands at an advance of 1. ptT pound.
Thr demand was confined to BengAs, as in other de-
scriptions our stocks are very limited. .Armand
'since Saturday has been rattier languid ; we believe
no salts of consequence were year:day elf ct•ftl.
SIJOAR.--Tile demand for Muscovadi s after Tues.
day last w.:ek became limited until Friday, when
there was main a considerable revival it the requeo;
the prices that day were a shade Lii,fier, and a
great disposition evikced to purchase at die advanced
currency. 'Mt total s Iles of the week were estima;
mated to exceed Sift.° casks.

This forenoon the market is without variation as
to price. The deliveries trout the warehouse continue
very extensive, elven), for home consumption.
The rapid advance in the prices of taw Sugar had
a corresponding effect on the refined market ;—the
prices were generally 2s. to :;s. per csvz. higher, and
so great was the desite to secure parcels•at the pre-
sent prices, that extensive contracts were entered into
tor, goods to be ready some weeks hence.
There was brought forward on Friday last to pub-
lic sale, above 800 chests Havannah Sugar ; the
whole were in very bad condition, and very indiffe
rent Sugars ; the demand, however, was brisk and
extensive ; all the quantity was disposed of, though
we can,:ot say at higher prices titan the previous mar-
ket cthiency.
Two thousand one hundred and two bags Bengal
Sugars a ere also brought forward last week, they
sold 4s. to ss. higher than the last prices.
The holders of Havannah and Brazil Sugars are
asking higher prices ; the request is particularly for
the yellow and brown descriptions.
Cos. rem—There continues to he great fluctuation
in Coffee ; the large sale of Thursday, which consis-
' led 01 533 casks and 7449 bags, (petted with great
briskness at prices Is. to 2s higher than the previous
currents). Dutch Triage realized 83s. fine ordinary
935. ro 955. good ordinary pile Jamaica realizing
to 89s. fie ordinary '.)3s. lid.—before the sale WAS
halt over, the request became languid, and the prices
declined ; at the close the prices of Ci flee might be
stated fully 2s. lower thau the currency ut the pre-
ceding week.. The sale of Friday went off ecilially
low : fine ordinary Jamaica selling extensively at
90s. to 91s.

The public sale this forenoon consisted only of 108
casks British Planta!;on Coffee, of course too limited
to form a criterion of the marker ; the whole went off,
however. with much briskness—good middling Ja-
maica real:zed 105 s. middling Dominica LS,. vocl,
middling 101 s. Gd.
