CotTotr.--Thero is no mention whatever or,en.
they East India slate, and it is now confidently an-
ticipated that no t. I. Cottons will be declared for
Ibis year.
The deOrattid has continued very limited since oar
laet, and the request for Sands for home consemp.
lien, and Bengal. for import, appears to have nearly
`eittalded ; the purchases are about 500 bags ; the
iliFlpal part (about 400),*ere for espottetion.
hi particulars are-Ipo Pernambuco. 24. ld. ; 110
11"jas 22411°124 ; a few Donararas, 23-1.1. ; Bo weds,

the !leek the demand for Cottons was very limited,
the dealers having bought freely last week, and
it siting for the public sales advertised for yesterday.
these' aisles went off without .putt, and Orleans

the »hole the prices were fully as good la were ca-
rved.

Aontinuert steady, hot plot extensive; the advance of

ergot. from Liverpool and-Glasgow, the demand for ,
IPlitocoteriPs has been soy limited; nn depression in
lit oltei4l can, however, be stated, as there is the
flame confidence evinced by the holders that Sugars
will not decline ; the purchases are, however, more
lighted than daring any d'y Iwo week.
The demand for. Refined goods was rather limited

/et the market generally might be stated heavy ;
there appears In he some wish amongst the !sport
houses to offer contracts for goods to be deliver.
