•Ni w Yogic, Feb: 2.—Our last report closed upon an
active week in the staple here, several speculators having
entered the market and bought pretty freely, which
enabled holders ,to advance their rates ie. .Subsequently,
howevert the demand was scarcely so .active, And holders
liad to yield a portion of, the advance, and on Thursday
the market became very quiet, there being a disposition to
wait forlater European news. The Arabia's accounts were
received by telegraph from ilalifix on Friday,
,reporting
a decline of lid,' with dpartial panic in Liverpool, caused
principally by, political disquietude on the Continent.
This intelligence was quite unexpbeted here, and brought
the market.to. A stand, but little ,business being transacted
for several days. Holders evince, no desire Co sell, how-
ever, and though the sales for the past four days do not
exceed 2,000 bales, there has. been, no pressing. • The
market closes.steadily at 12c for Middling ,Uplands. ,

S9I.7THP,RN MAnx.E.is.—Our :mail ad ices. from New
Orleans report ..onlyi Moderate business diming. the week.
The nirket opened with .an active demand, but under
increased receipts and dull news from Liverpool, buyers
demanded'. a concession, which holders refused, and
business fell, off; • buyers 'being diverted to the Mobile
Market, where prices were considerably lower. At that
point an 'active business was den°, factors realising
advance. By . telegraph • a week later, we
learn that the new Orleans market had again be-
oome animated. Buyers operated freely, at full prices,
up to receipt of Arabia's news ; but since then a quieter
feeling has prevailed, and . the market closes steadily
without change in prices. Sales for the week, 67,000
.bales. The.. Mobile market has also been active in the
Openirivif week, and the advance fully maintained.
The Liverpool news, however, 'checked business, and
factors have since yielded slightly, but exhibited no dis-
,position to, Press their cotton. Middling is *tea
.111 a to llic, with sales :for the week of 28,000 bales.
The Charleston and Savannah markets have also • been
active during the week. .
The following is a statement of the movements of
