LIVERPOOL, Szeresasse 14.-41 Our Cotton mar-
ket continues very dull : the wind having been fa-
vourable for importations since our last, the arrivals,
have been upwards of 7000 bags, including those not
reported last week, and the trade have held back from
purchasing, under an idea that prices might recede a
little. The sales have, consequently, been very limi-
ted, and a decline has taken place in most descrip-
tions of id. to a id. per pound."
SVGA H.—The order from the Treasury to reduce
the import duty of Muscovades from 30s. to 275. per
cwt. was received at the Custom House on Thurs-
day. Since the order arrived there have been few
purchases of Muscovades made by private contract
the late prices were, however, fully maintained ; 171
hhds. and ten tierces Barbadoes Sugars were brought
forward by public sale on Friday, the usual terms ,
the prices were about Is. higher than the previous
market currency ;• the whole went off freely from
81s. a 89s. There was much interest excited thir
forenoon to see the probable effect of the late change
of duty an the market ; there was, however, little
business done by private contract; the purchasers de-
clining to make any offers until after the close of
the two public sales advertised, to see the prices re-
alised ; the -first consisted of 166 hhds 67 tierces Bar.
badees, the prices went off Ss. a 4s. under the former
sales : middling white 83s. a 87s. fine white 905..
90s. 6d. fine yellow 78s. a 82s. 6d. good brown 735.
6d. The second sale, 343 hhds 40 tierces Guada.
loupe Muscovades, ordinary soft brown, the whole
went off heavily from 655. a 695. one lot 70s. of the
latter it may be stated that the prices were fully 1,
under what would have been accepted previous to
the commencement of the public sales ; these sales,
it is extremely probable, will damp the market to-
morrow, but no alteration- can be at present stated ii
Muscovades, as both sales were only fit for grocery
we have lately had extensile parcels of Barbadoes
Sugars brought forward, which has depressed the
prices of that description, and the other sale was en-
entirtly s:ft Sugars ; a few Grenadas soli much
about the previous market currency.
There has been lately much briskness in the demand
for Refined goods ; extensive shipments have been
made for the Baltic ; Crushed Sugars from 70s.
745. The demand for the home consumption of the
country has been also very considerable ; there
little variation iu Single and Powder Loaves; Ham,
burgh and Doubles have been in extensive demur
and the latter getting scarce. Molasses in request
an improvement of Is. The stocks of West India
, the warehouses are reduced to about 800 casks.
, , The holders of Foreign descriptions continue

demand high prices ; we cannot expect any consider-
able supplies of Guadaloupe Sugars ; that island
being given up to the French authorities on the 23d
of July. Brazil Sugars have been in great request
11 chests strong white were brought forward by put
lie sale, and for which 635. or 645. was offered ; tf
whole were withdrawn at 655. 6d. and 665. 6d. beii,
subject to the auction duty ; since sold by private
contract so high as 655. and another parcel reported
at 665.
In this forenoon's public sales were 92 hhds. Gua.
daloupe Clayeds ; as there are few in the market,
prices realised were extremely high ; middling Terre
965. 965. 64. and 98s. Communes 785..61. a 82s.
Corrzz.—The business doink in Coffee condo,
very extensive ; the prices of the ordinary debci.
dons are again from Is. a 21. per cwt. higher. The

a very high currency ; about 150 .hhds. good am'
