AMERICAN MARKETS.

NEW YORK, JAN. 15.—The market for stocks had
been somewhmt fluctuating, but the general tendency
had been upward. For Government stock there was
a fair demand, and the market was firm. All state
stocks were firm. There was a good inquiry for rail-
road bonds.

In freights there is not much doing, as shippers are
waiting for the Atlantic. Rates are steady.
Cotton-900 bales sold to-day at a decline of ie. to
lc. from last week's prices. The market has been gra-
dually declining for some days, but prices show some
irregularity, as a few sales have been made at old prices.

nominal for domestic. The only sale we have to no-
tice is 600 bushels white Long Island, at 1 doll. Bc., de-
livered here. Caaada is held firmly at 1 doll. 7c. to 1
doll. 12c. in bond. Corn is also firm and very quiet.

buyers only offered 68c. We think some sales of white
were made at this price for export.
