Cotton—The market for tho past ten cluys has been
very firm, and prices, previous to the arrival of the
Acadia, owing to the small supply on hand, had advanccd
c. per lb. Since the reception of her favourable
advices, a further improvement of e. to fc. has been
realised, and our quotations now stand is. to ic. higher
than they did on the 11th inst., the date of our notice of
the market for the steamer Hibernia, with a restricted
business, chiefly to spinners, on account of the smallness
of the stock, now scarcely exceeding 22,000 bales. The
total receipts of cotton at all the shipping ports arc
397,546 bales, against 255,960 to same dates last year—
an increase this season of 141,586 bales. The total
foreign export this year is 60,179 bales more than last—
say 70,247 bales increase to Great Britain, 17,338 de-
crease to France, 5,658 increase to the north of Europe,
and 2,012 increase to other foreign ports. The ship.
meats from southern to northern ports are 36,872 bales
more this season than last ; and there is an increase in
stock of 25,554 bales. The sales since the 10th inst.
12,950 bales ; and since our last, 2,210, as follow :—are

Flour and Meal—On Saturday and Monday the mar-
ket for Western flour, notwithstanding the heavy daily
arrivals, was, owing to the cold weather, increasingly
firm, and prices advanced 61c.; but yesterday, it being
again much milder, this improvement was lost, the mar-
ket closing nith only a fair demand without any degree
of firmness. The demand for export to England has of
late been light, and this, in the absence of other than a
moderate inquiry for home use, tends to depress the
market. The sales on Saturday were 10,000 bbls., in-
cluding 3,000 common State for export at 5 dolls. 37ic.,
and 3,000 for January delivery, part, if not all, at 5 dolls.
68ic.; Monday, 6,000, including 1,000 good Genessee
for export, at 5 dolls. 50c., and 600 Troy, at 5 dolls. 37}c.;

and yesterday, 8,000 bbls., Winding 500 Canada, at 5
dolls. 25c. in bond, 2,000 tor December delivery on
terms not made public, and but little if :any for ship-
ment. We quote scratched, 5 dolls. 25c.; round Ohio
and mixed Western, 5 dolls. 37ic.; common State, 5
ells. 37ic.; straight State and Good Western, 5 dolls.
4 c.; pure Genessee, 5 dolls. 50c. to 5 dolls. 56te.;
ncy, 5 dolls. 75c. to 6 dolls.; and extra, 6 dolls. 12i0
to 6 dolls. 75c.
Grain—Holders of wheat are firm, but the inquiry for
export is light, and that for milling, owing to the de-
pressed state of the flour market, is not large; prices
have remained pretty uniform for some time past. The
sales are 7,600 bushels white Genessee, part at 1 doll.
27c., and all probably within our range; 4,600 prime
white Ohio, 1 doll. 14ic. to 1 doll. 15e.; and 800 sou-
thern, 98c. Northern rye has sold largely of late at 66c.,
including 17,000 bushels since our last; but the market
closed heavily, 65c. to 65ic. being a fair quotation.
Barley is firm, with sales of about 5,000 bushels at 62c.
to 641 c., the latter rate for prime two-rowed. Oats are
a trifle lower, and river and canal can only be quoted
34c. to 35c. The market for corn has been less firm
since our last, and prices have receded slightly, closing
without animation. The supply of old is only moderate,
but that of new is now considerable, which rather de-
presses the market in the absence of much export de-
mand, the new, though generally in good condition,
being unfit for Atipment. The sales are 75,000 bushels
at 74c. to 75c. for round yellow, 70c. to 72c. for flat yel-
low, 67c. to 70e. for low to high mixed western, 66c. for
New Orleans, 63c. to 66c. for new southern, and 68c.
for new round northern. Some parcels new crop'black-
eyed peas have arrived, but we have heard of no sales.
The receipts down the lludEon since the opening-of
the river navigation are of—

Provisions-Ohio mess pork has ,remained steady at
12 dolls. 50c. to 12 dolls. 62ic., with sales of 800 barrels:
and 100 rusty, about 11 dolls. Prime has advanced
12ic.; 1,500 barrels having changed hands at 8 dolls.
93 c. to 9 dolls. 12ic.; 600 sour ditto 8 dolls.; and 100
barrels rumps, 9 dolls.; some new has been received via
the canal, held at 10 dolls. to 13 dolls. Beef, with a con-
tinued good demand, remains very firm, full prices being
realised; the sales are about 1,500 barrels. Country
at 9 dolls 621 e. to 10 dolls. 25c. for mess, the latter for
superior, and 5 dolls. 25c. to 5 dolls. 50c. for prime,
which is inactive ; 50 tierces India, sold at 24 dolls. ;
and 330 ditto Ohio and Baltimore prime mess 18 dolls.
to 18 dolls. 50c. Beef hams have improved a trifle; the
sales are 200 barrels Chicago and Superior River at 13
dolls.; Ohio pickled meats continue scarce and wanted.
About 150 barrels and 3,000 pieces green shoulders and
hams, fur pickling, have been sold at Gc. to 7c. for coun-
try cut; hams 7kc. to Sic., for city; and 4tc. to Sic. for
shoulders. New Ohio lard begins to come forward
pretty freely, via Pittsburgh, but the market, notwith-
standing the unfavourable foreign advice/4 is firm, and
full prices have been realised. The sales include 160
tierces prime, at about 7c.; 200 kegs, 8c ; and 1,000
barrels, part new, 6i-c. to 7c. for good, and Tic. for
prime. Dressed hogs are in good demand from city
packets; the closing price is si-c. to sic. Butter, in view
of the close of navigation, is a little higher, and we
advance our quotation of western dairy to 16c. to
18c. Cheese sells freely at 6fc. to 7ic., the lower rate
for Ohio.

Ashes-The market for both sorts has been quiet
since our last, and prices are the turn in favour of the
buyer, the stock continuing to accumulate. The sales
are but about 100 barrels pot at 6 dolls, at which the
market closed heavily, some parcels being sold even less;
and 200 ditto Canada, 5 dolls. 75c. in bond. Pearl have
been in moderate request at 6 dolls 124 c. to 6 dolls 181 e.,
with sales of 100 barrels closing at the lower rate. Stock,
18th inst., 1,373 barrels pot, and 1,158 ditto Pearl-to-
gether, 2,531 barrels.

Freights are less active in almost every direction. To
Liverpool, we hear of 1,000 barrels corn meal at 2s. 3d.;
6,000 barrels flour by the packets, 2s. 3d.; 6,000 yester-
day by a first class transient ship, 25.; 300 barrels pork,
2s. 9d.; 300 boxes bacon, 275. 6d.; and cheese, 305.; a
British barque was taken up at a round sum, and heavy
goods have been taken in British vessels at 255. per ton.
To London the packets have small lots of flour at 2s. 9d.;
5,000 boxes cheese, 355.; oil cake, 305.; beef, in tierces,
6s. 6d., and barrels, 35., and other heavy goods, 355. per
ton. To Glasgow, 3,000 bushels wheat in bulk, was
taken at sid.• two barques were taken up to load pipe
staves for Cadiz at 12 dolls., and a vessel to fetch a cargo
of heavy goods from the ulf of Mexico at 9 dolls. per
ton. To Havre there is no change in the rates, but with
little going forward. Another vessel (of 3,500 barrels)
was taken up for California at 6,000 dolls, for the
voyage out.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
Business was extremely dull, and, beyond eliciting a
marked disposition to back Escalade for the Derby, was
entirely without interest. The quotations on the Chester
Cup and Derby will be found to agree in nearly every
instance with those returned last week:—
