NEW YORK, May 15.
The market in this city has been active durig the
past week, Chiefly in consequence of the purchases made
by our own spinners, who had 11,en expeptingittrther,
decline in Liverpool, and consequently lower prices coi
this side. The reverse proving the case, they at on**
made large purchases, and the prices paid were in sore
cases very full, much above the quotations annexed, for
good, clean, even running qualities. There has 016°
been some moderate buying of low qualities for Havre'
The sales for the week add up 10,000 bales, the market
closing firmly with a hardening tendency. The export
for the week has only been 542 bales, all to Liverpool'
Transit Cotton.—Some few sales have been made
during the past week at irregular prices. We cannot
give quotations--there is not sufficient business to war"
rant them.

Southern Markets are given in detail to the latest
mail dates. An advance in all of 3to Ic. had taken
place on the lower qualities, which had been previously
so much depressed. By telegraph the particulars of a
week later from Mobile and New Orleans are reported,
When a lot of Middling cotton is offered for sale, it la
all at once picked up at 111 to 11-jc, and Strict 111i4'
dling finds buyers at 11/ to 12c readily. There is oci
cotton in either port that will class as high as Middling'
It is only out of fresh arrivals that this or a higher class
can be got in small lots. The stock in all Southern
ports is almost entirely composed of low sandy and dog
parcels, value from 4 to 8c per lb.
By telegraph the following has been received :---
NEW OatuArrs, May 12.—Receipts for the week, 7,100
bales (net.) ; same week last year, 8,538. Sales for the
week, 46,000. Middling, 11Ic per lb. Exports for the
week—to Great Britain, 22,000 bales ;to Havre, 6,000.
Stock en hand, 238,000 bales. Freight to Liverpool,
5-16r1 per lb. May 14.—Sales to-day, 10,508 bales.
The steamer's news caused great firmness. Prices stiffer,
but quotations unchanged.
MornLE, May 12.—Receipts for the week, 4,000 bales;
same week last year, 4,300. Sales for the week,. 14,000
bales. Middling, 103-,c per lb. Stock on hand, T02;006
bales. Exchange on London, 109 to 109 f pet Wit.
Freight to Liverpool, 11-32 d per lb. May 14—Sales
to-day, 1,200 bales. The steamer's news had no effect.
SAVANNAH, May' 14.—Market unchanged. Sales
to-day, 650 bales.
CHARLESTON, May 14.—Sales to-day 1,200 bales, at
unchanged prices.

Receipts continue on a moderate scale, but have long
since ceased to have any influence on prices.
Fxports arc also moderalts to Great Britain. T°
France nothing has gone this week. To other foreign
ports we have this week sent 22,000 bales, against
6,000 in the corresponding week of last year.
Stock is reduced considerably this week. The tote
in all the ports is now 515,000, against 450,000 in the cor-
responding week of last year. We think the quantity
reported as being in this city is greater than the reality,
as we are strongly of opinion that the quantity taken by
spinners, and forwarded to them from the vessel direct,
is greater than supposed.
Crop.-Efforts have been made for a large planting.
and no doubt the area. put under cultivation has bees
increased beyond any former year. So far,
however,the
weather has been unfavourable ; each mail from the
south brings us renewed details of the backwardness of
the season. The damage in Alabama and Georgia by
frosts in the early part of this month is confirmed, sou
from nearly the whole cotton region the complaints
are loud of cold nights and dry weather interferio;'
with the growth of the young plant: Spinners and
others in Europe should not overlook the proba-
bilities of planters this year. devoting more time to
the cleaning of cotton ; if such is done the. quantity may
be materially reduced from this cause alone, as it rr''
now a well ascertained fact, that had the present crop
been properly cleaned, it would not have exceeded
4,250,000 bales. The value of low cotton has dePre-
ciated so much that planters will probably find it their
interest to be more particular inluture, as they must be
aware by this time, that a moderate crop of well•cleaned
cotton will realise more money, than a monster crop Its'e
the present, with a quarter of a million of bales of
miserable trash, which ought never to have come- to
market.
