NEW YOnic MARKET.--The dull accounts from Liver-
pool have kept business in check here, and the transac-
tions have been quite limited. Holders, however, have
been generally firm, and parcels of Middling Upland
Cottons have been- readily taken, when offered, at 11c.
The transactions in transitu have been small. The
week's sales amount to 7,000 bales, and the market
cloSes steadily at 11c to 11 ec for Middling. Upland.
The following is a statement of the movements of cotton
for the past week and, since Ist September last, as compared
with the previous five years:-

SOUTHERN MARKETS.-The week's sales at New
Orleans only amount te 58,000 bales, and with the large
stock now offering in that market, prices have Yieltledll
during the week. At. Mobile we are unable to quote
any decline, clean good stapled cottons being firmly held
at 14-e. for middling. The Atlantic markets have done
a steady business, and at Charleston prices have receded
kc. Freights are unchanged during the week. Our
table above, giving latest telegraphic quotations from all
points, shows that the average Cost of middling, free on
board, with freight, is now 6d.

AUGUSTA, Jan. 16.-Sales to-day, 1,500' bales at

RECEIPTS.-The effect of the holiday season still
shows in the receipts to the latest mail dates-the delivery
for the week being only 143,000 bales, against 139,000
last year-a very trifling excess. By telegram, however,
we are advised of some recovery in the latest week, and
of the excess on last year, which is 378,000 bales by our
table, being raised to 399,000 bales. From this amount
it will not probably vary much by our tables of next
week.
EXPORTS.-The exports continue on a large scale-
-129,000 to all ports during the week against 35,000 last
year. Of this 78,000 bales have cleared for Great
3ritain against 24,000 last year, carrying the total
excess for that destination up 'to 364,000 bales over the
shipments to same date last year. France has taken
35,000 bales during the week against 3,000 in the cor-
responding week last year, making her total 254,000
bales against 267,000, and other foreign markets have
taken 16,000 bales' against 8,000, making a ;total of
119,000 bales against 163,000. American spinners
have done little during the week, and their total now
stands at 251,000 bales against 296,000 last year. Of
vessels loading there are 120 for Great Britain, against
81' last year ; 51 for France against 13 ; 58 for other
foreign ports against 66, and 24 for Boston, &c.,
against 37.
There is nothing to change our opinion, that the
crop will exceed 4,300,000 bales. This would be an
excess of 450,000 bales upon last year, of which 399,000
bales have reached the ports
,in the first four months.
Our advices from the south report a poorer supply of
good stapled cotton during the last few weeks.
