AMERICAN MARKETS.

Naw Yoaz, Due. 16.
Mosey has been in good demand this week, and the
banks mesa to hare fall employment for all their MMUS ;
still we notice a good inquiry for paper at the discount
houses. Among good
privets bankers money is wily ob-
tained at our Isolations, but with many of the banks
them is a disposition to hold up until their quarterly report
is called foe. We tkeeto—lst elms endorsed notes and ac-

The 1,1111( market is buoyant, and large sales are made

Yer:ign exchange has been is good demand, without any

Covrint.—The sales since our lest review per Baltic
amount to 2,600 hales. Prices since the receipt of the
Niagara's &deices have further declined fully le. to le., the
market cloning heavily today, with sales of 1,100 bales
(included in the above), on the basis of 91e. for middling
Uplands, and 01e. for middling Oulf A general im-
bression prevails that the Arctic, past due, will Write •
etter market at L.verpool, al some sheet reaction would
tin but reasonable, atter so rapid and unreasonable *decline.
The redaction advised has not given the shipper from this
side a corresponding advantsite, as the fall in price ban been
fully met by the advance in (nights; and if, as advised,
middling Origami will decline, with heavy receipts at our
ports, heavy export to Great Britain, and increased crop
estimates, to lid. per lb., thee Liverpool will he the best
market for operations. Our cloning quotations, with
freight to Liverpool, 6.16 d. to id., and to Barre Ic., are as
follows:

It is very difficult to arrive at any reliable estimate of
the incoming crap. That of the past season escee.itd the
outside figures advised up to the close of December fully
200,000 Lilts' made up, as we believe to have liven gener-
ally admitted, from the grawth of previous 'can attracted
to the ports by the high priers of the spring of 18.12. In
estimating therefore we have thought that this fact Phoulil
• not be lust eight of, but that 2,`)00,400 should he adopted
as the basis of the growth of 1851-2, and that COHN-
quently, making due allowance for the increased breadth
of land planted and the lung continuance of fine wea-
ther daring the fall, 300,000,001 would prove to be
a full and safe estimate. To adopt this, however, we
must now reject the testimony of nine-tenths of our corres-
pondents, whose opinions are not made on a hasty survey
of the subject, n ither as they state are they influenced by
the large heavy recepts, but are the result of obacreation
and reliable information as to the comparative product of
very many plantations; and the action of planters as shown
in their desire to realise, confirms the views they advise.
We have collated these opinions and now alinex the result,
which, in the aggregate, exceeds the views we earlier en-
tertained, but are sustained by too great a weight of testi-
mony to be unheeded :—New Oilcan., 1,150,000; 'I real.,
90,000 ; Mobile, 550,000 ; Florida, 210,0011; Atlantic
States, 950,000. Total, 3,'2-50,000. Depressed by the ad-
vance in freights and reduction of foreign limits,
prices have declined at New Orleans to 8 cents
for middling. Freight to Liverpool, Id.; to Ilavre, 2c.
BlizAnurnrri.—During the past fortnight, but little of,
interest has transpired in the market fur bread stuff., with
ecasional fluctuations, owing to breaks on the canal, suede-
rate receipt., and speculative inquiry, priers fur flour have
remained quite stationary, and close with firmness, particu-
larly for the ordinary and medium grades. It is itentrally
admitted that the stock at this port does not exceed 400,010
or 500,000 bbh., arid by some is estimated at much less, and
with the certainty that it cannot be largely increased during
the winter except at increased rates by railroad, and the
extremely firm and advancing tone of the English markets
warrants the belief that prices hem cannot be lower for some
time to come, and with a reducing and itsinlincriaasercifi

rates of freight yet current prevents their execution. The
open weather of the last week has enabled the receivers to
get everything through the canals, and that navigation may
sow be considered at an end for the season. The receipts
of wheat have been large, but still with heavy operations
for shipment; the closing stock of sound is probabl, not
over 350,000 bushels; prices of late have been irregular and
depressed, governed chit fly by the export demand, and that
checked by the difficulty in getting ship room, but closing
with more firmness. _

INDIAN Cum of the new Southern crop is ' 'ng
freely, aad mostly in fine condition, but it is only wanted
for home use.

FLOVAL-The speculative inquiry of the last mouth has
subsided, end the market is quiet but firm. Ordinary to
favourite brands of State are held at 5 dohs. 61e. to

sour, 4 dole 621 e. to 4 dole. 75c. ; Canadian, in bond, is in '
light stock, and for the British province is selling at
6 dole. 121 e. A falling off is the demand tor the Austra-
lian and Californian markets, and a more free supply of
common kinds, has depressed eoutheru brands, elm Hy on
the lower grades, to 5 deka .e. to .5 dots. 50c. Rye dour
sells at 4 doh. 371 c. to 4 dole. 60c Corn meal, 3 duls. 811 e. '
to 3 dole. 87 e. for Jersey.
611A1N.-Helders of wheat have been storing freely as
the season closes, and since the Niagara's arrival have held
for higher prices, the clueing sales being large and showing
a better feeling. The quotations are 114 e. to 116 c. fur
Canadian in bond, 125 e. to 128 e. for Genesee white, 108 c. to

Paovistoxe.-Old mess pork is quoted at 18 dole. 25c.,
and prime at 16 dots. 25e. to 15 dole. 50c. The market fur
new pork is unsettled, and the sales confined to small lots,

on Saturday last.
F111014111.-The high rates obtained at the sow.hem
ports have drawn a great number of vessels thither, conse-
quently we have but few vessels up from Europe, and high
rates are maintained. To Liverpool, 1,000 bbbi. resin were
