PRODUCE.

The arrivals of coloni;lprOitic;during the month have
been very large, notwithstanding which the business tram.
actions have been considerable since the date of oar lam,
and former prices for moat articles have been fully mains
tained. The deliveries from the warehouses both for home
consumption and export continues very satisfactory. We
have to notice a reduction in the stocks of many leading
articles, which until lately have been iu excess of last year.
Sugar and rice are both dearer. Dyes and dyeing mate.
Hale remain without alteration, eseept for indigo, which it
d . Cochineal has continued in fair demand, but pre.
viotte rates have been barely supported. From the oonti•
nental produce markets the accounts elution, satisfactory.
From the cotton manufacturing district. the reports stela
that the demand had slightly fallen off, and lower prime lad
been accepted ; but from the woollen districts we learn that
the transactions have been large, and higher rates have
ruled.—From Hears. H. W. Jewesbury and Co.'s Morallif
Circular.

THE COTTON MARKET.
Mews. George Fraser, Son, and Co., in their monthly
price current of yesterday, remark : With reference to the
cotton market, much anxiety prevails on the part of the
trade. The further rise in price, during the last font
weeks, has amounted to about id. to fd. per lb., and prime
are still on the rise. The quantity taken out of Liverpool
for consumption by the trade in the twelve months
ending December 30, 1854, was 1,889,866, or about
36,208 bales per week ; and in the twelve months ending
March 2, 1835, being the period from which the recent ex.
tensive buying commenced, was 1,876,400, or about 36,000
bales per week. Since the latter date the purchases by the
trade in Liverpool amount, for a period of eleven week',
to 5114,900 bales, or about 63,200 bale. per week. So that.
allowing for a weekly quantity of 37,000 bales, for con-
sumption to be taken out of Liverpool, and assuming that
the quantity reported as sold to the trade has really gems
into their hands, which, however, the speculative
purchases made by spinners occasionally may render
it somewhat ambiguous, the trade should have now an ax.
era of about 180,000 bales in their hands over what they
possessed when the large buying commenced; and in any
meat the actual stock in that country should be regarded by
these changes as about that quantity in excess of the esti-
mated stock at Liverpool. This is now reckoned es
253,650 bales less than at the corresponding period of last
year, so that whilst there were solid grounds for a rise front
the low prices ruling in February, they do not seem Wet-
lated to bear any large further advance, we think, unleselli
the event of the supply proving really short of what we
received during the remainder of last year, or of som • far-
ther increase in its consumption by the demand becomiag
enlarged for the manufactured article. Upon the nrcepecn
of these two important points opinions are, and use
eerily will be, much divided, and it would be very hazard-
ous to express any decided opinion thereon, whilst the
future continues so uncertain. The power of consumption
may be greatly modified either way by the further rise, or e
decline, in the price of food, and by the termination or
enlargement of its sphere, as the case may be, of the wain
which the Allies are engaged. Meantime our market may
look for diminished support from the India markets, and
probably for increased support from the United Stator,
Brazilian, and South American markets generally ; and if
the expected ease of money continues, that important ele-
ment is calculated of itself to impart no inconsiderable
strength to the late improvement. But whatever may be
the general prospects of business, they certainly do net, at
present, look very favcurable for the spinning, and still less
so for the manufacturing interest.

SUGAR.—The avenge price of auger, the proloce of the
British possessions in America, computed from the returns
made in the week ending the 22nd day of May, 18.55, is
225. 31d. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, 20s. 94.
The ge price of brown or htu.covado sugar, the pro-
duce of the East Indies, in the week ending as above, is
245. Old. The average price of the three foregoing descrip-
tions of sugar, jointly, is 225. 21d.

SUGAR.—BRISTOL, MAY 25.—The market conflation.
tremely firm, and nearly everything offered has been readily
i disposed of at full prices to sixpence advance. The triune
Pons since our last comprise 12,500 bags of clayed
' 500 boxes Havennabe 200 baskets Jest's, 500 hhds. Cate
liuscovadoes, 2,500 bags Mauritius, and 300 lib& as,
Barbadoes ; and • large am:iunt of business would base
been done had the supply at market been more ample. Fat
refiners' produce the demand is evidently improving, sad
full prices are paid. Rum is inquired for, but the stocks are
quite exhausted.

CORN.--.CHELYBI,OIID, MAY 25.—There was • gout
supply of wheat at market to-day ; farmers commenced by
asking very high prices; the weather being Ike, and sup-
ply being goal, buyers acted with much caution. Tht
market closed firmly at last week's prices; red, 755. to 771.;
enra, 781 ; white 80s. to 84s. • estra, 86s. Bemis seam,
and make last week's rates. Barley very scarce, and Is. to
2s. dearer; grinding, 335. to 361. Oats and other spring
corn 6d. to Is. dearer

LINCOLN, MAY 25 —Our market has been moderately
supplied with wheat tn-day, and where business was does
last week's prices wore paid ; red, 776. to 79a.; white, 53..
to 84s. A good enquiry for barley at fully previous rates,
365. to 375. Very tittle doing in oats, 30e. to 355.

WAILIFIZLD, MALT 25.—There seemed to be an expecte-
tion that since the change of weatl- er, with genial warmth
and gentle showers, had improved bervest pre:repute, there
would be a decline of prices ; bat teeters held rather firm.
liiLers were willing to boy at Is .1e -lice, but this was oaly
conceded in a few instances. fhe business was not lugs
by any means. In barley, beans, pees, end oats, there wu
no change.
