COTTON.

Oar Market during the past week has been very firm ;
the business, however, has again been restricted mostly to
the immediate wants of our domestic coinsurers. Holders
evince great indifference about disposing of their stocks,
even at the high rates now current, and prices have steadily
hardened, until at the close, I am compelled to raise my
quotations lc per lb, remarking, however, that it would
be difficult to progress with sales in quantity at the an-
nexed prices. The sales for the week we estimate at 4,000
bales, including PO in transit. The export for the same
time has been to Liverpool 2,835 bales, 'chiefly from first
hands.

SOUTHERN MARKETS : A moderate demand has prevailed,
and prices have further advanced. By telegraph we are
advised of large sales in New Orleans during the wee's
ending 24th Inst., at still higher rates.
NEW ORLEANS, July 23d : Cotton unchanged; sales to-
day 700 bales. Freight to Liverpool 7-16 d. Sterling,

port, as compared with last year, now amounts to 248,000
bales. Total deficit at all Southern ports 574,500 bates
as compared with last year. Sterling exchange 1091 per
cent.

Moans, July 24 : Receipts of the week, 100 bales ;
same week last year 202. Sales for the same time 700
bales.; stock on hand unsold 3,800. Middling 14ic to
15c. Total decrease in receipts, as compared with last
year, C 6,000 bales. 251 July : Middling 14ic. Freights
to Liverpool 7-16 d.
Caor : I am unable to notice any improvement in the
accounts from the Smith, which continue of a varying
character. The extent of the yield will depend entirely
upon the weather experienced during the remainder cf the
season.

The following is a statement of the movement in Cotton
since the Ist September last, as compared with the pre-
vious three years :

EXCHANGES on London, are firm and slightly higher.
Banker's bills are quoted 1091 to 1094 per cent ; oa

The following are particulars of operations in the
principal Southern markets since my last circular :
NEW ORLEANS.—Receipts for the week ending July
17th, 487 bales. Expnts—to Liverpool, 5,210 bales ;
Havre, 3,722; Bordeaux, 143; Barcelona, 65. On Satur-
day the advices per Anglo-Saxon were received, and 900
bales were sold. On Monday the sales were 200, factors
very indifferent about offering their stocks. On Tuesday
there was an active demand, and 1,000 changed hands, at
slightly advanced prices. Oa Wednesday the sale;
amounted to 1,000 bales, market very firm. On Thurs-
day the America's news was published, which encouraged
factors in their pretensions ; sales 900, at higher
rates. Oa Friday the high asking prices of holders,
and the meagre assortment on sale limited the business to
400 bales. Total sal a 4,400 bales, taken mostly for France,
Spain, and our own spinners; market closing with a
strong upward tendency, at quotations which are again
advanced Ito to ic on our last. The stock of cotton in
this port is now reduced so low (being but 7,000 or 8,000
bales in the aggregate), and the bulk of it consists of such
low qualities, that the middling grade., for which the
demaad is most general, cannot b 3 purobaied for less than
15c, a figure higher than in any year since 1839. Freight
to Liverpool, id.
MOBILE : Thceipts for the week ending July 17th, 382
bales. No foreign export. On Saturday there was little
inquiry, sales 100 bales; in the afternoon the Anglo
Saxon's accounts were received vi' Quebec, and on Monday
quite an active demand prevailed, and 800 ba'es were sold
at Ac. advance on previous currency. On Tuesday the sales
only amounted to 230 baler, at prices sustaining the advance.
On Wednesday 250 changed hands. On 'Thursday the
America's ad vices were to hand, and 350 bales were sold
at rates establishing an advanc of ec. On Friday 2,000
were taken for the North, at firm prices. Sales for the
week, 3,750 hales, taken mostly for our Northern manu-
facturers. The market closes firm, with an upward
tendency. Freights to Liverpool continues nominal at
