,ft past.-weelc our market for store cotto.n
h-s been unifur,nlv qnief, 3411{1 the sales do no!, exceed 3,C00
hales. The adyic?s from Li v6rpo 1l are considered un-
favo: able by most paWes, but the accounts from the south
have been such a; .to counteract the a'lrerse inB ienee.
The market yesterday closed quietly at the quotations of
last week. The export for the week has' been--to-Liver-
pool 1.924; R mterdam, 53—Total, 1,977 bales.
COTTON IN TRANSITU.—We have bad an Aber quiet
week :in flytting cotton, but holders remain firm, and
when full prices cannot be obtainel, the shipmeots are
forwarded to Liverpool. The quantity left on hand is
small, and I hear of but few new shipments in process.
I continue the quotations of last week on 'the basis of
freight, Strict Middling, 11c.; Middling, 133'c.; Low
Middling, 13c. ; Good Ordinary, 123 c.; Ordinary, 12c. ;
Mobiles at same quotations, with freight at 5.16 d. per
lb. In Uplands there has been no sales. The sales for
the week I estimate at 7,000 bales,
P. S.—This morning ths Patton ha; arrived with news
to Bth OHL Cu-sols had declined ^d. par cent. Money
in active demand and ti liter. Tha Liverpool cotton
Market was dull and rather ea,ier.

UROP: The interest in the Present is feet giving way to
the prospects for the next. It is fully conceded that the
t tal for this season Must fall below 3,000,000 bales.
Two weeks ago if was as ertapretty generally through-
out the south that the planting had been unusually early
this year, and that the crop was more fprward than fur
some Years past. Duing the past week we have accounts
from nearly every section of the - cotton growing region,
that the reverse is now the case. A heavy frost occurred
01 the sth and 6 h April, killing such cotton as was already
above ground, and on the 13th inst. another severe frost
passed over the whole country, doing still further injury and
causing replanting to be yes riled to very generally. In re-
latioa to the frost of 6.h inst., the New Orleans Price Cur-
rent of 11th April thus speaks: "It is general'? understood
:that there has been more early planting this season
than usual, and on many plantations the cotton was up.
According to authentic advises from the interior
ah that was thus exposed to the action of the severe
frost of the night of the sth inst., has been killed, and will
have to be replanted, thus defeating the realization of as
early a crop as bad been hoped- for." We have not yet
received by mail the full particulars of the more recent
frestrq by telegraph we learn, however, that further injury
has been done, and as it has been followed by a heavy rain,
storm, a. delay in replanting has been the consequence,
and the position of the new crop at this moment, instead of
being early and 'Promising, is later than for many years
anti having a bad heginniug it the mote liable to the vicis-
situdes tif the seasoe from this time ;:o the occurrence of
the tresls in autumn. Every effort will be put forth by
the planter to repair the injury as early as the weather will
permit, -and it is impossible, with a favourable season; to
make a fair average crop. Still it should not be lost sight
of that the chances of sa doing are much lessened. by theli
unfavourable spring so far experiereed.
Itzetiprg.—Vor the week under review are 21,030,
against 69,000 bites same week lest year, and 40,000 bales
in 1853. The total deficit at all the ports amount to
360,030 bales as compared with lain year, aad 217,000 as
compared with 18,53. The total deficit next week will be
close up to 400,030 bales as.coinpared with 'last year
