NEW ORLEANS, JAN. 16.

The weather continues warm and pleasant : the Missis-
sippi remains at the same stage noticed in our last, within
about three feet six inches of high-water-mark. The
market, in general, is as it was when noticed in our last;
aid we have not heard of any thing new in relation to
commerce, save the loss by fire, on the 12th instant, of
4,944 bales of cotton, together with the buildings of the
press of Messrs. N. and G. Hart, Charles-street, and
fronting on Common and Gravier-street.
COTTON.-Arrived, since the Bth inst., 8,221 bales;
cleared, in same time, 9,115 bales ; leaving on hand, in-
clusive of all on ship-board not cleared on the 14th inst.,
a stock of 48,446 bales, less 4,944 lost at the burning of
the press of Messrs. N. and B. Hart. Using Liverpool
classifications, and having advanced a shade on former
quotations, we quote ordinary, i ; middling, Si a 9 ; fair,
9e a 91 ; good fair, 91 a 10+; good and fine, 10i a 11,
good demand. The operations of the week have been
fair, and in every respect fully up to what could .reasonably
be expected ; buyers show a good disposition, and sales
have been made at our quotations, though we ure unable to
relate particulars; we continue last quotations of Louisiana
and Mississippi, though we have understood that they
would bear an advance of a shade.
