COTTON.—The market during the week up to
Friday was in an unsatisfactory state, owing to
the large quantity thrown on the market of recent
arrivals, and prices were again reduced about
per lb. on middling and lower qualities. The sales
were 41,050 bales, of which 2,370 were taken on
speculation, 4,950 for exportation, and 33,730 for
the trade. On Saturday, however, there were
signs of improvement, and the sales reached 7,000
bales, but there was no advance in prices. To-DAY
the advices per Africa were received, confirming
previous accounts of damage by frost to the grow-
mg crops. They have, however, but little effect
on this market, which is governed more by home
affairs, and the state of the money market, which
is continually improving, discount being easier
and the funds continuing to rise. There was a
much better demand, and the sales reached 8,000
bales, of which about 2,000 were taken on specu-
lation and for export, but prices were without

PRODUCE.—There has been little to notice during
the week, the markets generally having been dull,
with but little alteration in prices. The grocers
having shown more disposition to purchase Sugar,
the sales on SATURDAY and TO-DAY comprise 50
hhds. Barbadoes, at 345. to 38s. ; 120 hhds. Deme-
rara, at 345. to 355. ; 400 bags Cossipore, at 425. ;
and 1,500 bags Benares, at 38s. 6d. to 395. 9d. ;
besides which we 'have to report 1,800 mats
Mauritius taken, for refining, late on Friday, at
335. per cwt. Nothing has taken place in Molasses.
Of Rum, 80 puns. Demerara have found purchasers
at 4s. per gallon. 30 tees. Jamaisa Coffee have
brought previous prices. In Tea a fair amount of
business has been concluded, at former rates. The
Arracan Rice offered this morning was not sold,
but by private 3,100 bags Bengal have realised
chiefly 12s. 3d. to 13s. 9d. including one lot at
14s. per cwt., for low middling to fine white. A
small parcel of Lima Wood has been sold at
£l2 15s. ; a few tons RioHacheFustic, at£6 7s. 6d.
per ton ; and 1,200 pockets, 80 bags Bengal Lin-
seed, at 625. per quarter.
WooL.—There is no new feature to notice in
this article, the reports from the manufacturing
districts show no signs of improvement, yet prices
continue to be well maintained. Stocks in this
market are not so extensive as imagined, the im-
ports for the last three months will come under
17,000 bales, while the imports for the correspond-
ing three months, in 1853, amounted to upwards
