The Corn Market is lower, although a fair demand ; the fine
weather keeps the prices down.
The Cotton Market began the week with a an animated demand,l,
with considerable show of speculation, and nearly 15,000 were
sold in the first three days; but although there has been a good
attendance of the trade the remainder of the week, the demand has
entirely sutsided, in consequence, perhaps, of the heavy arrivals.
The quotations may therefore be considered quite nominal. The
sales of the week consist of 0,000 bags Upland Georgina at 13d. a

Although the import of Cotton since the Ist of January has ex-
ceeded that of the same period of last year by 07,000 bags—say
23,000 Americans, 30,000 Brazil, and 34,000 Egyptians, &c.—
there is only an increase of 16,0410 Brazils, chiefly Pernanis, and
21,600 Egypians ; while the decrease in our stock of American
watt 64,000. and East India 4,009 from what it was the Ist of July,
MI. It is also generally admitted that the stocks on the hands
of dealers and consumers are at least 60,000 less than at this period
last year.
