The speculation in cotton has been renewed with
| the greatest vigour. Yesterday the revviug cot
ton market here received great impulse from the
statement that 10, 600 bags sold at Liverpool
on Saturday last; there Immediately the great
est brisknesss i'll the demand and during the day
above 5000 bags changed hands, at the following
advance on the prices of Saturday: Bengals lid,
Egyptian 1-2, and Pernams Id to / I-2 per h. This
forenoon the reques; remains undimnished, and we
have doubt there will be extensive sales effected
before the close OF the day.
Sugdr.--The demand for Muscovades during the
last week has been very limited, and the few shes
reported Were at prices Is lower; free brown
Demerara 64s.
The reduction in the quantity of Sugars deliver
cd from the warehouse last week (for the particli-
lars the Dock list) las occasioned complete
s'asna,on in the Sugar trade this morning; there is
no business doing. Muscovades nominally at
the prices of last week; free brown Jamaica Cos;
St Lucia and other low browns Gas.
CoGec.---The langud state of the Coffee market
induced the holders refrain from bringing forw ard
public sales last week; the consequence was,
revival i'll the demand by private contract, and for
81. Domingo 76s paid and reports that parcel
had been taken at 7Ss, very good quality.
COTn--Ihe Corn market sjust good deal
affected 10y the proposed alterations in the Corn
Laws, respects the importation ofGrain from the
British Colonies in North America upon arcduced
scale of duties and the idea that further alterations
may yet be made during the present Session of
Parliament, regards the European Corn Trade.
The supply Of Wheat fresh, in yesterday, was only
small; but, from the above considerations, the
trade was extremely dull, at a decline Of fully Is
per quarter on the best runs; and every other de-
scription almost unsaeabe, though offered on
lower terms.
IObdcco.--The market continues heavy; the
late sales reported are 300 hhds Virginia at I'd,
$50 at Sd I'd, and few fine stemmed led.
LONDON, April 5.-The prompt day for the CO.
lonal produce bought at the late highest prices was
on Saturday, and notwithstanding the immense a.
mount, the settlement went over iihout any fail
wes; 1t anticipated that many parcels of goods
bought on speculation would have been forced on
the market for money, particularly coffee and spi-
ces the reverse was however the case no goods
were offered at any reduction.
