lvrger—citimated at 11,000 bales—anal at prices which at
the close of yesterday's business showed an advance of to.

Niagara's accounts caused no excitement, but encouraged
further buying, and slightly higher prices were paid.
The export for the week has been—to Livernool, 2,950

4,847 bales.

°nor : The evidence of the correctness of the opinion
expresied in this circular since the opening of the season,
as to the extent of the crop is now showing itself, in the
gradual but steady diminution of receipt, at the ports as
Compared with last season and with 1853,, and in the
assurance we get from the South that the great bulk of the
crop is already marketed.

RECEIPTS for the week under review are 91,000 bales,
againsi L.;2000 bales same week last year, and,103,000 bales
in 1853. The „7,?tfal deficit which last week was 8,000 bales
is now 68,000 bales ti.". compared with last year, and 132,000
bales as c_itn3ared with ISa53, Under the telegraphic head
the receipts for a week later are givcrt, from which it appears
certain that next week the deficit will be increased to
110,000 b ales Cornpared 'With iri,7l year, and to 168,000 bales
as compared with 1853, and from th 6 character of the ad-
vices from the South, it seems quite proba.i.'le that for each
week after my t able of 10th March, we shall stl.ow 30,000
to 41,000 bales less than last year for many weeks. 4.4 t 111
points bat Nei Orleans it is conceded the cotton is wen.
nigh all in ; and judging from the character of the receipts
of late at New Orleans; it seems probable that even there
the supply of g Nad cotton is exhausted, and only the ordinary
and inferior grades are arriving, foreshadowing a speedy
falling off in quantity.
Expors to great Britain this week are large. We are
nevertheless 200,000 hiles below the quantity exported
last year, and 238,000 bales less than in 1853. France and
the continent continue to get their full prO rata share, and
our own spinners are still operating in the Southern
markets.

&roc% : -The amount
_in all the ports is being steadily
reduced, and in three or four weeks we shall hold less than
we did at the corresponding period last year, and oontinu
to show thereafter a rapid diminution as compared with last
year, for many weeks.
