Cotton—There has been a fair demand since our last, with
considerable steadiness, prices having experienced no further
depression. Subsequent to the date of our notice of the
market for the steamer Acadia, ten days since, prices until
the close of last week gradually receded, and they now stand
to of a cent. per lb. lower than on the 24th ult. The
total receipts of cotton at all the shipping ports are 527,917
bales, against 336,97$ to same dates last year, an increase
this season of 190,959 bales. The total foreign export this
year is 120,604 bales more than last, say 12 1,058 bales in-
crease to Great Britain, 17,061 decrease to France, 6,635 in-
crease to North of Europe, and 6,922 increase to other
foreign ports. The shipments from Southern to Northern
ports are 53,249 bales more this season than last; and there
is an increase in stock of 20,293 bales. The sales since the
24th ult. are 9,300 bales; and, since our last, 3,4,00, as fol-
lows :

Since the 21st of November the continued mild weather
has caused the canal to be kept open for a longer period than
usual, thereby adding considerably to the stock of flour and
grain ; prices have, consequently, declined a trifle, and the
market closes dull. As regards the stock in store, there is
much diversity of opinion, but those best informed estimate
it at 300,000 to 400,000 barrels of all kinds. The exports
from this port to Great Britain and Ireland for the week end-
ing the 27th of November, 29,952 barrels of flour; 1,064
ditto corn meal ; 22,494 bushels wheat, and 150,983 bushels
corn.

Freights remain at about former rates of 2s. to 2s. 3d. per
barrel on flour, and 6*d. to 7d. per bushel on grain to Liver-
pool.

* Flour-There is a good home demand, but only a light in-
quiry for export; with the large receipts of the last fort-
night, prices hirre declined about 6ic. per barrel from the
closing rates per America steamer. The late sales have
ranged from 5 dolls. 25c. to 5 dolls. 3l c. for the common
Oswego and Western, and 5 dolls. 3l c. to 5 dolls. 44c. for
the strait brands of Western and Genessee. Southern kinds
are selling at 5 dolls. 50c. to 5 dolls. 56ic. Rye flour is held

NEW YORK, DEC. 0.
The non-arrival of the Britannia, now past due, has dimi-
Lished the business by this packet.
The Exchange on London is drooping, and sales have
been made from 534 to 8, and leaving off at S. For bills
on Paris at short dates, say ten days, the rate is 5.15 to 22k.
The American steamer the United States, which went
to sea to-day, for Havre, carried out about, 125,000 dollars
in coin.

The unusually fine and moderate weather we are enjoying,
by prolonging the period of internal navigatiob, has in-
creased our stocks of flour and wheat, and this circumstance
together with the non-arrival of the steamer, has caused
some pause in purchases, and a drooping of prices.
Notice has been given that the Treasury Department is
ready to redeem all Treasury notes issued under the Act of
January, 1847, at maturity. As the interest will cease
after that time, it is highly probable that, in the meantime,
those outstanding will he funded into a twenty years' stock,
dated from the time of issue, bearing six per cent. interest.
Counterfeit 20 dollar bills of the Bank of Georgetown are
in circulation. They are well executed, and calculated to
deceive, unless examined closely. It is supposed there are
large numbers in circulation at the south.
