LONDON MARKETS.

Friday, November 26, 1824. COTTON.-There was some considerable business doing in Cottons early in the week, but the accounts from Liverpool, being unfavourable, checked the request; the market has since become quiet, but without reduction in the prices.

SUGAR.-The market has been very steady during the week; the business done very considerable: the prices are without the slightest variation.

RICE. The business done lately by private contract has not been extensive.

SPICES.-Nutmegs, which have lately advanced with such rapidity, are again heavy; the price reached 4s. 8d. per lb., but the nearest quotation to-day is 4s. to 4s. 2d.

INDIGO The low qualities which have lately been so much neglected, have come into demand, and sell at a small premium on the India House sale prices.

DAILY PRICES OF STOCKS, from the 26th of October to the 25th of November, 1824.
