on the part of owners to press sales. Canadian was in
good request for export, with sales of 15,000 bushels at
1 doll. 4c. to 1 doll. sc. for good to fair. Prime was held
at 1 doll. 6c. Rye was less freely offered, and prices
have advanced. with sales of 6,000 bushels at 75c., clos-
ing buoyant. Bsrley and Oats remained without par-
ticular change. Corn was held firmly wi:h a fair de-
mand, and sales of 9,000 bushels at 64c. for New
Northern, and 66c. for new Jersey and 3 ellow ; also old
mixed at 66e. to 70c., now held at 70c. to 71c. The
stock of all kinds was light, particularly old.
Cotton—The sales reported on 'Change amounted to
1,470 bales, at the prices paid on Saturday. Holders of
Upland cotton supply the market freely at the quota-
tions, whereas the holders of the Gulf descriptions do
not—it not being practicable to buy at less than our
inside figures; and if the fears of an impending Conti-
nental revolution were removed from the public mind, a
rapid advance would ensue—as it is in that section that
the larger estimates of the crop, which have now disap-
peared, first saw the light. In regard to the question
of supply, three-fourths of the opinions of operators in
this market lie between 1,950,000 and 2,100,000 bales.
Planters have been enabled to keep well up with their
picking this autumn; and, as the roads have been in fine
order, and streams all navigable except the rivers at
Mobile, which are now in a good stage, the facilities to
get it to the ports are greater than usufl, and induce-
ments to p'auters to realise far in excess of those here-
tofore existing. We therefore think the comparative
receipts, excepting those at Mobile, may well be taken
as a criterion.
Coal—There was not much doing to-day, while
prices were unchanged. The last sale of Liverpool
Orrel coal was at 7 dulls. 50c., short time.
Freights—There continued to be considerab!e parcels
of bread-stuffs offering for Liverpool, and we have to
notice some 20,000 to 30,000 bushels of corn engaged at
4d. in bulk, and 4id. bagged by the ship; for wheat sd.
was asked; 2,000 to 3,000 barrels of flour were engaged
at ls. 3d., and afterwards is. 6d. was asked ; fur cotton
id., and for dead weight 153. to 16s. continue to be
quoted. To California rates varied from 50c. to 112 c.
The Havre packet, to sail on the 16th, was full with
cotton at je., and ashes at 6 dolls. to 7 dolls.
Naval Stores—About 50 barrels spirits of turpentine
have been sold at 36c. cash—art advance ; rough tur-
pentine commanded 2 dolls. 87ic. per 2801 b. Wilming-
ton resin sold to the extent of 200 barrels, at 1 dolls. 40c.
to 1 doll. 45c. from yard and delivered. Other articles
exhibited no alteration. The exports since the Ist of
July, 1850, comprised 151,000 barrels,all kinds.
Oil—Linseed has not varied since Saturday, but the
tendency was upward. The transactions to-day em-
braced 5,000 gallons at 80c. to 81c. in casks, and 82c.
is barrels, for English and American from store. Whale
was at last reported. The imports of sperm and whale
oil into the United States for 1850, to December 2, add
up 286,645 barrels.

Provisions.—Pork—The market was unsettled, but
there was less doing. The operations amounted to 450
barrels, at 11 dolls. 75c. for mess, and 8 dolls. 75c. for
prime, including 100 barrels new city mess at 12 dolls.
The receipts of pork to-day were 600 pigs. Beef was
held firmly at previous figures, with sales of 200 bar-
rels. The receipts of beef per North River boats to-day
were 1,100 packages. Beef hams sold to the extent of
200 barrels at 14 dolls. per 2201 b., weighed out.
We hare no change to note in dressed hogs;
lard was less buoyant, and the market was
steady. The sales include 250 barrels old at
71c. to ?ie., and 200 kegs new at Bc. Butter
was in fair request, with sales of western dairies at 14c.
to 18e., and Orange county at 18c. to 22c. The inferior
qualities were neglected. The receipts of butter to-day
by the North River sum up 826 packages. Cheese was
6c. to 6ic., and steady. About 2,000 packages were re-
ceived to-day by the Hudson river.
