COMMERCIAL.

At New York, on the 22nd, cotton was in more
demand, and prices were sustained. Heavy arrivals
continued to exercise a depressive influence on the
market for flour and grain—prices of the principle
kinds of which declined. The transactions in provisions,
rice, naval stores, oils, hides, leather, and tobacco, Wer°
restricted. Spelter, dyewoods, iron, and lead, were ill
moderate request. Fair engagements, chiefly of bread-
stuffs, were reported for the principal British ports at
higher rates.

The following is from Messrs. Wright and Co.'s
circular : •

NEW YORK, May-22, 1860.
Our last circular was dated 15th inst., since which
the Europa and Adriatic have arrived, the latter 'TO
dates to the 9th inst. In Liverpool for the week ending
4th May, the sales were 73,000 bales, at prices showing
a slight improvement on the previous depressed cur-
rency. Middling New Orleans was quoted 6d, Mobiles
6 3-16 d, and Uplands 64-d. per lb. On the sth the
sales were 10,000 bales, at steady rates.
The demand for cotton in this market has been active
for home consumption during the past week, and for
desirable qualities of good stapled, clean cotton, an
advance on the quotations annexed must be paid. The
lower grades have been more inquired for, at an advance
of ic per lb. on the currency three weeks ago. The
demand for export is small, but holders knowing our
present stock is light, and that it cannot be augmented
until November next, refuse to sell, except at full prices,
generally in advance of the quotations. The sales for
the week amount to 7,000 bales. The clearances for
the week have been—for Liverpool, 1,702 bales; Havre.
1,037; Bremen, 339 ; Antwerp, 273. Total, 3,351
bales.

Crop.—The accounts from the South are still not pro-
mising for the prospects of the young crop. Taken as 5
whole the season is late, and at the latest accounts the
prospects are by no means favourable.
Exports this week are rather larger again, both to
Great Britain and France. The improvement in tho
low grades at Mobile and New Orleans, and the largo
sales, make the idea that a greater amount than usual
of the stock on hand would be held over the summer,
more problematical, and it now seems likely that the
hulk of these grades will gradually find their way to
Liverpool.
Summary.—Receipts: Increase at the ports compared
with last year, 748,000 bales. Exports : Increase to
Great Britain, 719,000 bales; increase to France,
166,000 ; decrease to other foreign ports, 49,000. Total
