COTTON.—lsyszroor., Fa 12.—The unowtainty of
the kens of coctioestal politic calmed holders to offer their
stocks pretty freely towards the end of last week; since
which time, however, a more active trade demand has
enabled them to obtain the extreme rates of last Thunder,
and in some instsncesa slight advance. The reduction of
the Beak ride to 7 par cert. yesterday haa jimmied poen'
confidence. Egyptian has bees in fair request, bat the
market is well supplied from recent arrivals at last week's
prime. The lower grades of East India still coat:roue very
unsaleable, but Smyrna has bees in motive inquiry at folly
id. advance. Speculators have taken dor* the week 5,400
bales, ovarian 7,970, sad she trade 33,130 bales of all
kiods. We have a very firm market today, with an im-
',nein secy. Base, 7,000 balsa, of which 2,500 are for
export and speculation. The following are the of quo-
tationa—Middlisig Orleans, 274 d.; Middling Mobile, 27d.;

COTTON GOODS.—Mancoura, FEB. 12.—1 n ship.
•ppuragg yarns there has been a fair amount of business for the
Ysditaeranea and thaw narks* in low counts and extra
hard twist, which have bees a good deal in request. For
China also a better business has been doing, but for India
there has been little or no demand, and scarcely a sale has
been made for that quarter. Spinners are asking rather
higher pnces, which tends to restrict business. In home
trade yarns sellers report • steady business without excite-
ment. Prices firm. In cloths there has been a little more
inquiry yesterday and to-day, since the reduction of the
Bank rata, but so far it has not led to much business.
Stocks are light, and prodectioe has been so much reduced
that manufacturers are ex • ly firm in their prices.
The principal business doing has in goods suitable for
the markets of China, including 40. inch shirtinp, plain and
figured, at ea advance in prices of %bout 3d. per pieosabove the
ratethernot this timelast week. There lea little mere business
doing in cloths also for the home trade, but the houses in this
thence are very sparing in their orders, and are evidently
=skim an effort to keep their stocks es low as possible.
Sellers of cloth generally evince some disappointment at the
limited amount of business doing, and complain that any
effort to get pion upin.mediately checks opeattionaso that
in many cases it is difficult to make sales at say advance
upon the very low prices consequent on the long depression
which sumeaed Christmas. Messrs. John Per and Co.,
in their semi-monthly circular for the Overland Mail, dated
the 9th inst., say that " Dotwithsthoding the commence-
meet of war, its restriction for the time within narrow limit,
has tended to restore confidence, and for several days past
the tone of the market has much improved. The latest
Indian accounts being somewhat better, and those from
China continuing very favourable, considerable inquiry has
been made for staple goods, especially shirting', and though
the basins has not been extensive, to-day's market has
been firm, with an upward tendency in prices." The
circular quotes fie China shirtinp at 21s. to 72a. lid. They
say the demand for Calcutta baa fallen off considerably ;the
besieges for Bombay is limited.

OORN.—Cummuman, Fait. 12.—Tbere was a .mall sup-
ply of wheat at market to-day • best runs mad* full prices ;
out-of-condition lots wan difficult to sell. Wheat, white,
465. to 495. ; red, 40m. to 43m. Barley, best rum, without
clump is value. Beane Sd. to Is. dearer.
Lnicour, FILL 12.—A fair amply el wheat at our mar-
ket ; the demand slow, aid prices in favour of the pur-
chaser. Barley was in better demand : best malting qua-
lities were la. higher. Wheat, red, 40a. to 42a. ; white,
43e. to 45a. Barley, 295. to 36a.
LrystrooL, FES. 12.—We have had only a small attend-
mace of buyers at today'. market, and the demand for
wheat being still os a very limited male needy sellers have
been forced to maks a emoseem of folly 3d. par eental
from the rake of this day se'coight. Floor nominally 6d.
