COTTON

NEW YOLK MARKET.— Little worthy of notice has
occurred in our Market during the , week. Buyers and
sellers have alike been waiting for something new-to turn
up, and very little business has, therefore, been reported.
Holders are firmer than might have been expected in view
of the now almost universal opinion that war in Europe is
inevitable; while, on the other hand, buyers have found
nothing in the later advices from the other side to induce
them to increase their present stocks. So little has been
done for many week's on account of the smaller spinning
concerns, which depend mainly on this market, that it is
thought the first favourable turn in events will bring them
into thernarket to replenish their stocks. The sales have
been confined to 3,500 ba!es, of which 1,000 are in transitu
IVe quote, -Middling Upland 12c, and in transitu Middling
Orleans, with 3freight, 114 c.

SOUTH ERN MARKETS, BY TELEGRAPH.—lmmediately
after the closing of our `last circular, we received advices
from the South of some concessions in price on tie part of
factors ; running lists of cotton at New Or le tns being
parted with as low as 12c for an average of mid lhg. From
this there has been a slight recovery, and holders are
now firm at 128.0 at that point and Mobile ; while middling
on its merits is worth 121 e, with sales of 34,000 bales
at the two ports. Complaints are made of the difficulty
of finding well stapled descriptions. At CharleSton and
Savannah prices have been too irregular to allow correct
quotations to be given, but our correspondents at the latter
point mention that Middling Upland, can not be bought
under 12c. About 13,000 bales have changed hands.
Freights remain at id to LiverpoOl from New Orleans and
Mobile, while .?id has been paid at Charleston and 11-32 d
at Savannah, owing to scarcity of tonnage.

The following is a statement of the movements of cotton
for the past week, and since Ist September last, compared
with the six preceding rars :

TILE PAVING OF STREETS.
TO THE EDITOR OF 4.'11E NORTHERN TIMES.
gir,-Will you please kindly permit me (through
the columns of your journal), to call the attention of
the authorities to the dangerous state of the pave-
ment in Crosbie-Atreet, Park-lane?—it beiiag totally
unfit for horses tAa proceed along with any degree of
safety. There is -nothing which demands greater
attention than the 6ondition o our thorougidares,
it being requisite they should be kept in proper
repair, in order to facilitate the business of czar
town. I trust that the defective condition of
Crosbie-street will prove the absolute . necessity of
at once re-paving the above street,. in a manner more
suitable to the great amount of traffe wbich must
necessarily pass that way, and thereby insure
greater protection to our lives and property. Hoping
the above suggestion may be found worthy of con-
sideration, I am, yours, &e , SWETT.
