COTTON.

Our domestic consumers have operated more liberally
during the week ending yesterday, and very extreme
prices have been paid for suitable parcels. Exporters
have also participated, and the total sa'es I estimate at
8,000 bales. My quotations are' not chingpi, though it
is now very difficult to purchase on their basis. The
export for the week has been—to Liverpool, 3,395;
I3re►nen, 675 ; Hamburg, 1,022 ; Riga, 421 ; Antwerp,
428. Total, 5,641. bales,
Cotton in Transitu has been in fair demand at the
quotations of last week. The quantity on sale is very
much reduced and holders are very firm in demanding out-
side rates. The business for the week, which amounts to
9,000 bales, has been done on the basis of 7-I6d freight,
Orleans strict middling, 131 c; middling,' 131 e; tow
middling, 13c; good ordinary, 121,c ; ordinary, 12c ;
Mobiles at same rates ; some small sales of uplands have
been made at 410 lower than the above quotations.

Southern markets continue to advance,
.with a fair
amount of, busint4ss in each. The quantity of cotton for
sale in Savannah and Charleston is so much reduced that
the business may be considered as closed. Li Mobile
and New Orleans the season drawing rapidly to an
end, and the buyers are preparing to leave at an early
day.
By telegraph the following has been received :

Crop; The accounts from the South received during
the past week, fully cot Irm the conclusion that the crop will
result in less than 3,000,000 bales, and this estimate is now
fully established here and in the South, We have been
visited with a few days cold weather, and it has extenkd
some distance in the South, but whether it has been suffi•
piently severe to make replanting necessary, we have yet to
learn. On the 17th March a frost occurred in Texas,
which eh( eked vegetation. The public mind is very
sensitive just Low on the subject of the coming crop.
Receipts at the ports continue to fall off rapidly, and
are, during the week under review, less than half as com-
pared with .the corresponding week of last year. 14y
telegraph we learn that a further, material reduction will
be shown next week. The total deficit is now 289,000
bales, and next week it will probably exceed 330,000 bales.
Exports to Great Britain are still on a liberal scale,
being for the week 64,000 bales, against 66,000 for the
corresponding week last year. The total, so far, to Great
Britain now amounts to 1,002,000 bales, and it will be
difficult for her to get 450,000 more out of this crop. The
stock in the ports amounts to 5137,000 bales, of which
American spinners and the 0 mtinent of Europe will
require a portion, and we shall probably close the season
with larger stocks on hand than at the cldse of last year.
At New Orleans on 21st March, there were loading for
Great Britain 41 vessels; on 28th March 36, and by
telegraph to 4th April, we learn the. number has been
reduced to 21. •
