LONDON MARKETS, Ist Nov. 1833.

COTTON.-The 'business done in Cotton during the past
month has been extremely limited, and at irregular and lower
prices ; our present quotations are little more than nominal.
By public sale this day 1400 bales of Surats, about 900 of
which were sold, chiefly of good quality, and at prices varying
from id. to id. per lb. below the previous nominal currency,
making the reduction from the late highest point Id. to lid.
per lb.-
SUGAR.-We mentioned on Friday last a general reduction
of 6d. to Is. per cwt. in Muscovades; the, fall has since been
fully confirmed, and during the present week the currency has
beon still.declining; the market is very heavy; the estlkiated
sales fur the whole week are only 2000 hhds. and trs., at a fur-
ther decline of 6d. to is. per cwt.
The holders of refined have evinced more firmness this week ;
32. L is freely offered for double refined crushea; hut the.holders
are more firm at 3.35.; a few large lumps of the best manufac-
ture have sold at 645. 6d.
This afternoon there is very little alteration in the prices of
refined, and the quantity of goods offering continues very.small,
particularly of the low descriptions ; for the fine sorts for ex-
port (entitled to the bounty on double refined) there has been
more inquiry, and some sales were made at the quotations ;
some of the refiners are not quite-so eager to effect sales.
MAURITIUS SUGAR.-The two public sales of Mauritius,
2,075 bags, sold considerably under the last. sale, but fully as
high as the market prices by private contract, and rather higher
than West India Sugars ; very ord. brown sold 475. 6d. to 48s.
fid. • good to fine strong brown, 535. to 545. 6d.; low soft to
mid. bright grocery yellow,, 545. 6d. to 575.
By public sale thus day, 927 bags Mauritius, which were sold
at 48s. to 545., rather lower.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.-The East India sale on Wednesday,
7,131 bags Bengal, sold 4s. lower than the sale of 21st August,
bUt at Is. higher than the valuations or the prices by private
contract; low to good white, 235. 6d. to 295. 6d. In other East
India Sugars, no sales are reported; there is some inquiry for
Siam and Manilla Sugars, for a parcel of the latter, good
colour, 235. has been refused.
FOREIGN SUGAR.-Foreign Sugars are this week Is. 6d. to
2s. lower, making the redaction the same as West India Sugars,

THE WOOLLEN TR AtE.
LEEDS, November I.—The clobh • business at Leeds con-
tinues brisk, and there was au increased demand for goods in
the markets on Tuesday. The blanket trade has been. rather
flat since our last. Scarcely any thing doing in the stuff trade.
Many of, the wavers at the bank are enduring great privations.
BRADFORD MARKET, on Thursday, was but very fiat, owing
to the merchants still declining: to. give advanced. prices. T
manufacturers complain that declining:
have not remunerating pro-
fits at the present high prices of the raw material.
In the HALIFAX PIECE-HALL, on Saturday, an average
quantity of sales were made at former prices.
AT HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, on Tuesday, rather more busi-
ness was done than on the previous week, with little or no va-
riation in prices.
ROCHDALE, Monday, October 28.—THE FLANNEL MARKET.
—To-day many of the manufacturers were asking higher prices,
and in some cases it was obtained. Low goods went off better
than usual. Some pieces of middle and finer qualities were dis-
posed of. The market was altogether brisker than it has been
for several weeks past, and there is no doubt that manufacturers
will, before long, obtain better prices, as the raw material still
continues to advance.

We have had a very depressed Cotton market throughout the
rpast
month, the total sales amounting only to 41,000 bags, of which .000
American, 1,300 Pernam, and 1,300 Surat were taken on speculation
besides which 4,500 American and 2,500 Brazil were forwarded into
the country unsold. Our present prices are, on the average, 14d. per
lb. lower for American and East ladia,•and lid. 4P' lb. for Brazil, than
ur quotations of the 30th of September,
