COTTON

In the absence of the expected foreign advices, our market
durinz Wednesday and Thursday of last week was quiet—
prices firm. On Friday the Ericsson's news caused holders to
be less exacting, and including a list of Texas cotton, the
sales were 'o a fair extent. On Saturday, after the Arabia's
intelligence, a good demand prevailed, the transactions
amounted to 4,000 bales, and prices advanced ac per lb.
Yesterday the demand continued good, the advance was firmly
maintained, and the market closed with an upward tendency,
at the submitted quotations. A portion of the business is on
speculation, and for our domestic consumers. but the bulk is
for export to Great Britain, and based more particularly upon
the effect which will he produced there by the course which
our government has pursued on the enlistment question, and
which is already supposed to be shadowed forth by the accounts
per Arabia, with regard to the Central American difficulty.
The total sales from the 10th inst to last evening, I estimate
at 11,000 hales, and the exports during the same time amounts
to 3,491 bales, viz—to Liverpool, 3,005; Havre, 215; Stock-
holm, 10; Rotterdam, 261.

COTTON IN TRANstru: The princtpal portion of the busi-
ness, amounting to 4,000 hales,- was done yesterday, and
embraced lists from Apalachicola, Mobile, New Or!eans and
Savana. The terms are not suffered to transpire. Some
2,000 bales have gone forward on owners' account during the
week.

SOUTHERN MARKETS : In Mobile and New Orleans the
buying has been restricted by the small stock and poor selection,
the bulk consisting of ordinary and grod ordinary qualities—
prices for even running parcels of middling are t
higher than the quotation. In Charleston the limited receipt,
caused an active demand, and an advance of ic. In Savana I
no particular change is noted.

BREADSTUFFS : Flour was dull subsequent to the date of
our last circular, until the receipt of the advices per Ericsson
and Arabia on the 13,h and 14th instant, when buyers for
export withdrew, and the business since transacted has been
small, prices closing 15c to 25c below our last quotations.

chases for shipment continue to be made, chiefly of the poorer
qualities of red and western white, badly sprouted, of
which two descriptions the receipts principally consist.

PROVISIONS : Our last advices were per Canada 2nd inst.,
since which no general change of any moment has transpired
in our provision market. The demand for export is not very
large, owing partly to the advanced season, and partly to the
high rates current here. Pork opened rather tamely, but with
a speculative feeling and large sales of mess for future delivery,
prices gradually improved, and close to-day unsettled at 16 dots
25c to 16 dols 50c for mime, 19 dots 25c for mess, and 16 dols
50c for prime mesa. The sales for future delivery were made
at about 19 dols 50c for early July, 18 do's 50c for June and
August, 17 dole for September, and 17 dots 50c for October.
Beef is only in retail demand, but firm at previous rates.
Prime mess beef is also ext►emely quiet at 15 dols to 19 dole
for all kinds. Bacon remains inactive for want of supplies
wherewith to operate. A few arrivals found purchasers at 101 c
to 104 c for clear, and 9ic to 10c for ribbed middles. Cut-
meats are a trifle lower : pickled hams 91c to 91e, and shouldet s
71c to 7tc per lb. Lard : A larger supply brought into•
market, on account of the high rates, had the effect of depress-
ing the article to to lc, but as the stock of strictly pima is
very light, and controlled mostly by a few strong holders, and
the demand for export having increased under the Arabia's
news, an advance has again been established. The closing
rates are : lOica to llc for strictly 'mime, and lOic to 11c for
No. 1. Tallow : The opening of the Russian ports has
checked the enquiry for export altogether, and prices favour
the buyer. The outs de rate for prime city rendered is now
10c per lb. Butter : An ample supply is daily arriving, and
rates aro barely supported. Ohio, 13e to 16c; common to
choice state,. 16c to 21c. Grease butter scarce at 101 c to
lle per lb.

OILS : Fish oils remain dull and heavy at 74c to 76c for
whale, and 1 dol 70c for sperm oil. Linseed Oil : Nearly all
