COTTOI,T.

(Front Messrs.. W. P. Wright Q Cd.'s Cirodar.)

The business in cotton at all points is reduced in
importance from the impossibility of finding desirable
styles. The stock consists mainly of low, dirty, and
and sandy grades. The business must he considered as
over for the season. The operators are leiving
South gradually ; some English and Frencii buycn
take their departure hence in this mail steamer. t"
business has closed at an earlier period than ever before,
notwithstanding the magnitude of the crop. Even
running grades of middling and above cannot be bought
at the annexed quotations. Such qualities bring from
half to a cent per lb. more, and in some cases as high fI3
12c has been paid in New Orleans; and 11,1 c in Mobile,
for strict middling qualities, within the lasi ten &t 9!.
The lower qualities have been in better demand of lei;
and prices in Mobile and Nevi Orleans hays advance&
fully -lc per lb during the last two weeks.
In this market we have had a fair demand ioisPinnersj,
and prices are fully sustained at last week's quotas"
There has also been a small inquiry from exporters for toe
Continent. Holders are firm and do not press, feeling
satisfied that our stock will be wanted before the new
crop can be received. The market is not influenced
by the advice; from Liverpool, and closed to-day firm►
but quiet, at the quotations annexed. The sales for the
week amount to 7,000 hales. The clearances for same
time have been—to Liverpool, 1,482 bales; Naples, 948;
Bremen, 520 ; Marseilles, 314 ; Stockholm, 190 ; Ant-
werp, 56. Total, 3,510 bales.
Transit Cotton.—The sales have been confined to a
few hundred bales good Ordinary Mobiles, and a small
lot or two of New Orleans, at prices showing irregularity,
but affording no criterion of market value. There ig
little on offer, and not much disposition to buy except
when a decidedly cheap lot can be had. The season all
through has been an unsatisfactory one for transit
cotton.

Southern Markets, as received by mail, are given id
detail. By telegraph we have particulars for a wet

later. The sales at New Orleans were 45,000 bales,'
and at Mobile 5,500 bales. Prices were higher on all
qualities, while for even running middling and the
grades above extravagant prices are demanded and paid•
The business lately has been for Spain and our owe
spinners in good cotton, and for Liverpool in the lower
qualities. Within the past two weeks there has beir
more regularity in price for the poorer descriptions of
cotton in the South, and purchases cannot be made 0
well by half a cent per lb. Yesterday, in Mobile and
New Orleans there was a better demand, and prices
were firmer, and on some qualities an advance of le was
paid. Freights have declined to Id at both ports.
By telegraph the following has been received :

New Orleans, April 21.—Receipts for the week,
21,000 bales (net) ; same week last year, 19,518. Sales

Cotton in more demand ; 'sales to-day, 4,000 bale,
23rd—Receipts for three days, 3,000 bales ; middling?

Crop.—After a protracted drought at the Sogtbf
which is unusual at this period of the year, rain Ms
fallen, and the condition of the growing crop has been
improved.
Receipts at the ports for the week are 43,900 batesd'
against 56,000 last week, and 50,000 in the corresponi:
week last year. The excess is reduced this week Tru
bales, and will be further reduced next.
Exports are again large. To Great Britain the.
reach 108,000 bales. The amount to Great Britaill
over last year is now 723,000 bales. To France the
excess amounts to 162,000 bales, while to other foreigs
ports there is a decrease of 66,000 bales. The story
on hand has been materially reduced this week.
