MARKETS.

COTTON.—LtvitkPooL, JAN. 31.—The sales of cotton
to-day amount to 12,000 bales, of which 3,000 are taken on
speculation. Tire sales comprise about 7,000 American;
800 Bahia, 61d. to sp.; 400 Egyptian, 6d. to 7id. ; 1,200
Surat, 30. to 41d.; 90 Sea Islands, 19d. to 2*. M. The
market closes with much spirit, and, compared with Fri-
day's rates, prices of American ars id. per lb., and all other
kinds are a point dearer. The accounts from America have
exercised a favourable effect on the market.

CATTLE.—BIMPORD, Jan. 29.—A1l kinds of lean stock
sold well at this market, better than for • long time past
at this period of the year. The fat stock was but indifferent,
the Sheep in particular, so much wet preventing those fed
upon turnip laud making very little progress. The demand
was brisk for both Beef and Mutton, but no advance upon
previous prices; the tipping prim I being 4s. fur Beef, and
6.. per stone of 81bs. for Manila
BIICICINOHADI PAUL, Jan. 31.—This fair was well supplied
with Cattle, but not so with Sheep, there not being more
than one-fourth the usual number. The attendance of both
local and distant buyers was more numerous than usual,
and there was a continual demand for lean stock.
The quality of the cattle was not first rate, never-
theless they found willing buyers. Beasts for stall feeding
were sold in rapid succession. Herefords and Devons, at
101. to 121.; Lincoln' and Short Horns, at 111. to 14/. per head. '
The young Beasts for grass feeding maintained high prices,
with every sympton of a further improvement. Young fresh
banners went off freely, at 35. per stone. Mitch and in-
calf Cows were in better demand than at Aylesbury last
week, and were easy to sell, at greatly improved prices.
Sheep in good demand at late prices. There were a few
pens of couples, which sold readily at 38s. to 445. per
couple. The Horse trade was active for all young animals,
at the late high prices. The Pig trade was brisk, but still
there was no advance on last week's prices. Suckling
Calves, 20s. to 255. each. Prime-bred Cow Calves for wean-
ing, 245. to 325.
Nouwica, Jan. 29.—Our market exhibited a good show
of Scots, short-horns, and Irish ; although a fair attendance
of buyers, fully one-fourth remained unsold. Scots, 3,6 d.
to 4s. 6d. ; short-horns and Irish, 2s. 6d. to 31.0. per stone
of 141bs. Fat Beasts a large show ; trade dull, at from
6s. 61. to 7s. per stone, and many lots remained unsold.
The number of hoggets penned were tolerably good, and
the trade brisk, and all quickly sold at an advance of about
Is. per head over last week. Fat Sheep firm, at from 71. &I.
to Be. 61. per stone. Dr store Pigs and fat Porker no al-
teration to notice.

AMERICAN MARKETS.
flaw YORK, JAN. 18.
There is no marked change in money, but a growing ease
and lower rates. Some strictly first-class paper is passed at
5! per cent., but the range is 3* to 7 per cent. On call the
rates range from 5 to 7 per cent., the stock-heusee paying
6 to 6 percent., and relending at 7 per cent.
The stock market continues heavy with a moderate busi-
ness doing, and notwithstanding the increasing abundance
' of money there appears to be little or no disposition to specu-
late largely. The changes are not important in the Fancies,
but generally they are downward. At the Second Board the
market was still heavy. Erie fell off to 92. Long Island was
better, and sold st 341. Harlem, 72*. Stonington, 57. Nicara-
gua was dull at 37. The Canal Stocs are rather steady. Cum-
berland, 66g. Phenol: 40 regular, 3,5 seller sixty. Parker
Vein 78 regular, 80 buyer sixty. The Land Stocks are
firm. Cary advanced 25c., selling at 13f. Canton, 120.
The Premium Railroads are well sustained. For Utica
and Schenectady 160 was hid. Syracuse and Utica, 145.
Michigan Central, 1061). Panama, 136. Michigan
Southern, 127. Rochester, Lockport, and Niagara Falls,
116 f. Sixth-ay., 120. In Bonds there is a fair business
doing at full prices. Government Stocks are in demand
for banking purposes.
In Excbenge the market is dull at Bto 91 for sterling,
with first-class bills at 9i per cent. Franca, 315t0 5 133.
Corrom.-The sales to-day were 1,000 bales, at full and
advancing prices. There is an evident disposition to specu-
late on the chance of forcing up prices abroad, by holding
on to the supplies after they are allowed to reach the ports.
It is said planters are now ginning their tato pickings, re-
serving the cleaner parcels for summer shipments, as in
1851, after a rise in price by an expected scarcity. As the
season has been favourable beyond an average for picking,
it is useless to say the good cotton is exhausted. With the
facilities that now exist for obtaining information of growth,
k la not at all probable that the markets abroad can receive
an impulse from this cause.
ARMRB.-The market is without change. Sales of 60 bbl..
Pets at 4 doh. 620., and 5 dole. 75c. for Pearls.
