COTTON.

A decline in Liverpool was unexpec-ed, and has in-
creased the clis4ppointment already existing in this market ;
some holders having waited several weeks is the hope of
improvement from Liverpool enabling them to realize an
advance here, placed a portion of their stock on the market,
and being determined sellers, have had to submit to a
decline of t to gc. per lb. Although the sales at the
decline were unimportant in extent, they have been
sufficient to establish the quotations annexed as the fair
value of cetton in this market yesterdey. Thera is no
pressing, and only arch lots as are peremptorily ordered
for sale are at present offered. Buyers, however, are shy
and indisposed to operate to any extent. The sales for
the week I estimate at 5,000 bales, The exports have been
—to Liverpool. 1,691 bales ; Bremer, 28.5 Copeuhageu,
25. Total, 1 901 tales.

Caoe, &c : The unpropitious wea7her since the opening
of this spring in the south, continues to be the subject
matter of correspondence from the entire cotton region ;
the &mega done has not been over-estimated in my
, circulars of late. It is admitted to be one of the latest
and worst seasons, so far, on record. In addition to the
damage by frost, revious!y advised, we have particulars
of a heavy rain storm at Mobile, which may have further
damaged the prospects of the planter in Alabama. Re-
planting has been resorted to very generally in the south
and south west, and it will require a continuation of very
favourable weather from this time to the end of the season,
with a late frost, to enable an average crop to be secured.
'RECEIPTS, EXPORTS, &c.: The receipts fall off rapidly,
notwithstanding the mo 'erate amount received daring the
corresponding weeks cf last season. The present deficit
of 465,000 bales will be increased to about 490,000 in my
next week's table. The expoit to Great Britain last week
showed a decrease of 293,000 bales ; it stands now se
342,000, and wilt continue to decrease during the remainder
, of the season.

The following is a statement of the movement in cotton

WHEAT : The er quiry has been active for millinz, and
with a light supply the market has much advanced. Within
a day or two we have had some addition to our stock
by the arrival of parcels that have remained in the Erie
canal during the winter. Canal navigation is not yet

IRON : The market for all descriptions is very quiet,
trade with the interior not being yet fully resumed ;
buyers, too, purchase sparingly in view of the reduction of
duty July 1. Scotch Pig sold moderately at 35 dols to
30 do's : and 50 tons English rsfined bars, 62 dols 50e,
6 mos.

The Philadelphia North Amer ;con of Saturday says :
Prices are steady, but the demand for pig metal has fallen
off, and sales are mostly limited to lots from store at 28
doll, 26 doll, and 25 dois for the three numbers of
anthracite, on time. In mantthictured iron the trans-
aetiors are also very limited, and quotations about the
same."

LEAD : Pig remains very quiet, and we have only to
note sales of 45 tons best English at about 6 dcls 50c ;
and severs]. small lots of Spanish, gether about 50 tons,
6 dale 314 c to 6 dots 37-4 c equal to cash.
NAVAL STOREg : The receipts of Crude are very light,
and there is very littl- enquiry— stock perhaps 800 brls.
Spirits of turpentine has become quiet again, and though
the receipts are small. and the stock reduced very low,
there has been little animation, and sales have been
made at a decline of lc. per gallon—stock 2,000 brie.
Common rosin, on the spot, is very scarce and high, but to
arrive, further sales have been madeat 1 dot 874 c. Medium
grades are active, and command full prices. We are
without any important receipts of new pale, but there is
some on the way. Tar has been enquired for, for export,
and urge barrels are in demand, but these are compara-
tively scarce, while small are plenty.
OIL : Whale continues depressed, and the late large
arrivals at the Eastward are offered, in some instances, at
lower prices. 200 brls, selected, at New Bedford, brought
731 eents— cargoes are held at 70 to 72. Stock in the
country, 120,000 brie. Imports since January 1, 124,922
b. rls, against 88353 same time last year. Crude sperm is
is very dull, and prices are lower, with sales at New

fair request, and steady at 80 cents in casks, and 81, cash,
in brls, in lots as wanted from store—GO tuns English
(Liverpool) sold from store at 79 cash.
PROVISIONS : Prices of pork have appreciated 10 to 15

cents, with a fair demand a- the improvement. The stock
being moderate ft,:d he receipts light, holders offer their
supplies sparingly, and buyers are obliged to meet the
market, th Hugh the inquiry in restricted by the extreme
hlgn figures. Beef c Anilines buoyant, and the demand is
to a fair extent. Beef hams are scarce and wanted at full
prices Bacon also in limited supply and wanted, at 11i
to 12a cents.

market remains quiet ; the last sale of Ashton's Fine was
mAde at 1 dol 50c : and Jaffreys and Darcey's, 1 dol. 27ie
4 mos.

SUGAR: The market since our last has been depressed,
but as the receit is have fallen off, and those arriving are
m ,sily placed iii bond. holders have generally main,ained
a firm attitude, expecting stimulating news by the next
arrival from Cuba, and a large increase of consumption on
the opening of the canals and Western lakes and rivers,
a% the country is known to be unusually bare of stock.
On the other hand, buyers fur a few days past have mea-
snreably withdrawn from the market, aid with a stock.
considerably in excess of last year, and a dull country
trade, purchases are only made for the supply of immediate
ne' essities, and prices, which at the date of our last publi-
cation had reached their culmina'ing point have since
receded t aof a cent per lb, the depression at one time
amountiog to almost a panic, at least on the part of buyers.
