LONDON MARKETS.

COTTON.—It was ---"w--irenerally believed the heavy
prompt day at the India Hons., on Friday last, would
bring several large parcels of Cotton on the market at
prices a shade under what hid been paid at the last Indio
sale : there wem however few parcels pressing upon the
market, and although One or two purchases could he
made at a small decline, yet the reduction was not gene-
ral. The purchases since our last consist of 1,750 bales,

100., dote paid.
C4IFFE.E.--The very languid anal depressed state of
the Coffee m irket,which ue noticed on '1 ncsday lot, hail
the effect of deterring the principal holders from a heel-
tising sates. The parcels brought forward were too li-
mited to afford any criterion or the market prices. There
were no public sales brought forward this foreno-m, and
my few purchases are repotted by priva:e contract.—
The arrivals to-day are large, but the exports contince
considerable.

Last week has been limited, and for gon I and finer
Sigars rather lower prices were submit teolto ; the brown;

and of a very excellent gn..lity ; the bright yellow an
',crone' grey, Cals. a 635., went 61. a Is. per cwt. under
Ithe prices by private contract; the good, 604. a 61.., also
a shade lower ; the inferior quality, 5i.. 6d. a 595. 61,
