MARKETS.

COTTON.—Livagrooc, Fins. 7.—The sales to-day aro
estimated at 6,000 bales, and comprise about 5,000 Ame-
rican (500 on speculation and 500 for export), 120 Pernam
and Msranham, 61d. to 61.1.: 350 Bahia, 6ld. to 61d. ;
100 ,Egyptisn, 711; 500 Surat, 4d. to 41d. The market
closes firmly, but without spirit, and, compared with Fri-
' day's rates, prices of all kinds are fully maintained.

CATTLE.—LLIOIITON BUZZARD GaCAT STOUR FAIR,
Feb. s.—The supply of leen stock was unusually scarce, and
the continued demand for them caused a brisk trade ; but, as
a whole, the qualit; of the various animals was indifferent,
yet buyers were not backward in giving the full prices so
recently obtained at previous fairs, but towards the latter
part of the day the best descriptions of store Beasts rote in
value fully 10s. per head, the supply not being half suffi-
cient for the demand. Cows of all sorts for dairy pur-
poses maintained the improved prices made at Beading
and ti.)leshury fairs last week. Barren Cows were much
sought alter, prices for all sorts ruling in favour of sellers.
Keeping Sheep have risen beyond all expectation. Wethers
made 445. to 50s. each ; hoggets, 345. to 401. ; ditto maiden
Ewes, 30s. to 365.; and ell were sold before midday. Store
Pigs in good demand, et late prices. It was by far the
largest fair for Horses held here for some years, and a
very large amount of business was transacted at high and
satisfactory prices, many of the best five year old cart Hines
making 70 guineas each.

Nunwicit, Feb. b.—Our market exhibited a gond show
of Scots, short-horns, and Irish. Although there were a fair
number of buyers, still we had a dull sale ; and many wait-
ing in expectation of fresh droves from Scotland, c►used •
(all of 6d. per stone, 4s. being the extreme figure for the
best Scuts, but 3s. 6d. per stone the more general
price ; short-horns and Irish, 21. 6d. to 31. 6d. per stone of
141bs. when fat. At t►e close nearly half remained unsold.
We may state there is no certainty in the trade. Fat
Beasts, • large number; the best Sets, Gs. 9d.; short-horns,
Gs. to 6s. Gd. per stone, and not half sold. Useful Beef was
quite neglected, the heavy expenses to Smithfield causing so
great a risk. The pens well filled. 'loggers in good de-
mand; Ewes of all ages a brisk sale. Fat Sheep, Bs. to
Bs. fid. per stone. Good store Pigs, 18s. to 245. per head.
Fat Pork, 64.3 e. to 6s. 61. per stone.

ST. IVIIS, Feb. 7.—Good fat wether Sheep obtained a
ready sale, at ss. per stone vt 8113 s. ; inferior and ewe Mutton,
4s. 4d. to 4s. Bd. Good Sheep were scarce. Lean stock in
good demand, but Sheep generally have not done well, and
it was the general opinion here that, as the spring advances,
Mutton will be scarce and much dearer, snd owing to the
wet weather it is feared there will be a great mortality
among the young Lambs. Store Piga arc much d .

Corrox.—Our last report of the market was written for
the Pacific of the 22nd inst. On the 22nd, the Europa's ad-
vices of the 7th from Liverpool were received per telegraph
from Halifax after the business of the day was transacted,
which amounted to 800 bales at very full rates. On Mon-
day, 24th, the mail came to hand, and the advice, being
very tame, the market here closed quietly, with light
transactions, 200 bales only being reported. To-day the
sales are reported at 600, prices easier in the
lower grades, but very full for strict middling, and
upwards; qualities suitable for the home trade.
Spinners find much difficulty in obtaining here or south the
better qualities—such as were plentiful et the opening of
the season, and these must therefore continue to command
relatively high prices. The late advance has placed " low
middling" and under, such grades es are usually ex-
ported, far above dart shippers limits, but the stock being
very light, importers prefer holding to selling at any con-
cession of consequence. Our latest despatches are from
New Orleans of the 22nd. Mel ding, 91c., active; freight,
Id., dull. Mobile, 22nd—middling, 9c., active. Charles.
