MARKETS.

I.ONDON, SIIPTIMRBIL 22.
Corrox.—The purchases of Cotton fur the week ending yesterday,
were not extensive, a great proportion a the buyers waiting the
event of this day's East India Sale. The sale at the India House
this morning attracted great attention, and our anticipations that the
Cottons were much wAnted, are fully realised ; the advance is 44.
to id. per lb. and the inferior descriptiosts are id. to 44. higher ;
but, as usual, where there is much speculative buying, the prices are
very irregular. _ _ _

St/Gaol-The Sugar market has been heavy all the week ; it was
supposed that as the latter part of the Mauritius Sugar sales ma
Tuesday, consisting of nearly 6,000 bags, went off with briskness at
higher prices, that it would have a favourable effect ; but no improve-
ment took place, though they sold higher than the West India de-
scriptions. Towards the close of the market yesterday, there ap
peared more demand for Aitr.covades, but the pricea were 6d. to b.
under the late currency. The market is without alteration today,
the purchases are still limited, brown dry browns offer at Us.—
The holders look for a renewal in the demand next week from the
few sales lately effected, and also an account of the improvement ha
the Refined Market.

Corrits.—The Coffee Market has been steady all the week, the
Jamaica descriptions fully recovering the depression submitted to-
wards the close of the last week. Dominica sold is. to es. higher
