Cotton—The market tor the past ten days has been
very firm, and prices, previous to the arrival of the
Acadia, owing to the small supply on hand, had advanced
-Ic. per lb. Since the reception of her favourable
advices, a further improvement of to c, has been
realised, and our quotations noW.stand ke.. 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 are
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 60,579 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..
ments 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. are
12,950 bales ; and since our laustp,la2n,2diaon,

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 6&c.; but yesterday, it being
again much milder, this improvement was lost, the mar-
ket closing with 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 sal,s on Saturday Were 10,000 hbls., in-
cluding 3,000 common State for export at 5 dolls. 374 c.,
and 3,000 for January delivery,-part, if not all, at 5 dolls.
681 c.; Monday, 6,000, including 1,000 good Genessee
for export, at 5 dolls. 50c., and 600 Troy, at 5 dolls, 371 c.;

Grain—Holders' o! 'heat are firm, but the inquiry for
export is light,
and trot for milling, owing to the de-
pressed state of the Alon: r market, is. not large; prices
mo for some time past. The
have remained pretty mill':
sales are 7,600 bushels white- C:enessee, part at 1 doll.
27c., and all probably within ok-,4' range; 4,600 prime
,
white Ohio, 1 doll. 14i-e. to 1 doll. 15c.; and 800 sou..
there, 98c. Northern rye has sold large.lY of late at 66c.,
including 17,000 bushels since our last; ''tat the market
closed heavily, 65c. to 65,1:+. beintr a fah' quotation.
Barley is firm, with sales of about 5,000 bushu.ls at 62c.
to 644 c., the latter rate for visae two-rowed. Oats are
a trifle lower, and river and canal can only be voted
34c. to 35c. The market for corn has been less fir.o2
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 shipment. The sales are 75,000 bushels
at 74c. to 75e. for round yellow, 70c. to 72c. for flat yel-
low, 67e. to 70e. for low to high mixed western, 66e. for
New Orleans, 63e. to 66c. for new southern, and 68c.
for new round northern. Some parcels new prop black-
eyed peas have arrived, but we have heard of no sales.
The receipts down the lluch.on since the opening of
the river navigation are of—

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, for pickling, have been sold at Cc. to 7c. for coun-
try cut; hams 7fc. to Sic., for city; and 41c. to Sc.f for
shoulders. New Ohio lard begins to come forward
pretty freely, via Pittsburgh, but the market, notwith-
stsnding the unfavourable foreign advices, is firm, and
full prices have been realised. The sales include 160
tierces prime, at about 7fic.; 200 kegs, 8c ; and 1,000
barrels, part new, 6-Ic. to 7c. for good, and 74e. for
prime. Dressed hogs are in good demand from city
packets; the closing price is 51c. 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 6ic. to 74c., the lower rate
for Ohio.

market closed heavily, some parcels king sold even less;
