but 10000 of the same falling within this month
the sales in July were consequently about 1000
bags less than in the same month last year. We
scarcely have any better prospect for the present
and ensuin. months, as the season is now far
enough advanced to see plainly that the crop is
evidently deficient.
iSugar.-We cannot state the same thing Of
this article, the crop in Campos is acknowledge
ed to he very abundant, but the means OF realls-
ing it being limited to certain degree, expert
encrd people do not expect larger supply from
that quarter than at most 1000 cases more than
the previous year. The crop of Terras is only
regular one. OurIuotation Is to be understood
for new sugar; about 80 cases were lately sold
al the same. and there is more demand for prime
quality, but the existing stock OF about $50 cases

The state Of the cotton market authorizes a
belief that represent prices will not give way du
ring the present season. The consumption has IN
creased very considerably within the last year.

is full of dealers and buyers from all parts of Eng
land. and the market is represented to be bare of

drawn from that quarter of the world.
The prices of French stocks here have reach
