The money market is growing easier —abundance at
sto 6 per cent. Gold is between 141 to 142 ; silver is 7
to 8 per cent. cheaper.

The Government stock market is strong, and outside
iaiesting is good.

Tho Central Pacific Road—the line f:om San Francisco
to Salt Lake Valley—is in a very promising condition.
Having opened the tunnel through the Sierra Nevada, its
onward progress eastward to Salt Lake City is easy. We
are infidel as regards railroad securities, but we believe
in the bonds of this company, and have commenced to fill
orders for them at $l,OOO for $l,OOO bond, adding interest
since January 1. The bonds will be sent by express,

NEW YORK--California flour has been in demand, and
is growing in favour with the trade. As contrasted with
other white wheat flour is regarded as cheap, hence tho
greater activity. Our present stock is moderato, and the
quantity in transieu for this market is about 150,000 quar-
ter sacks; this will only supply the wants of the trade two
months. To California we must look for the major part
of our supplies of white wheat flour for the summer months.
At the close the market is firm. Tho sales of the week
are 25,600 sacks.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 7.—Cotton active—sales to-day
8,500 bales; exports 5,129 bales; sales of the week
29,300 bales ; receipts 31,297 do ; exports—coastwise 987
do ; foreign 8 ; 861 do. ; stock 100,034 bales.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. I.—Cotton.—Arrived since the
28th ultimo of Louisiana and Mississippi 6,191 bales ;
Lake, 479 ; Tennessee, 3,290 ; Mobile, 816 ; Texas, 45 ;
together, 10,821 bales. Cleared since the 28th ultimo for
Liverpool 13,525 bales ; Havre, 1,673 ; together, 15,198
bales. Stock in warehouse and on shipboard not cleared
on the 31st ultimo, 92,919 bales. We left the market at
the date of our last report ruling at 14/ to 151 c for ordi-
nary, 161 to 161 for good ordinary, 171 to 171 for low
middling, 17/ to 18 for middling, and 181 to 181 for strict
middling, since which, under the influence of tho en-
couraging accounts from Liverpool And New York, fac-

tors have been enabled to establish a further advance of
fully cent per pound. On Wednesday, although the
movement was checked by a decline in foreign exchange,
a limited supply offering, and the high prices asked for
all desirable lists, yet the sales summed up 4,800 bales,
at full prices, generally leaning to the outside figures of
previous quotations. On Thursday the demand con-
tinued, with a fair degree of spirit, and 5,500 bales changed
hands at figures indicating a pretty general advance of
lc, the improvement, however, being the most marked in.
the better qualities. Yesterday the market opened with
more stringent pretensions on the part of factors, and
only a moderate amount on sale, which caused several
leading buyers to stand aloof ; but there was, neverthe-
less, a fair demand, and the business summed up 4,000
bales, at irregular and still higher rates, to which we
have made our quotations conform accordingly. This
makes an aggregate for the past three days of 14,300
bales, and a total for the week of 24,700 against 24,800
last week, and 28,500 the week More. The business has
been divided between buyers for foreign export and the
North, the latter operating more freely than for some
time past. It is understood also that no inconsiderable
ajnount has changed hands on speculation. The receipts
at this port since the Ist of September (exclusive of the
arrivals from Mobile, Florida, and Texas) are 332,418
bales, against 472,479 bales the same date last year, and
the increase in the receipts at all the ports up to the
latest dates, as compared with last year, is 127,776 bales.
In the exports from the United States to foreign countries,
as compared with the same dates last year, there is an
increase of 74,534 bales to Great Britain, of 58,339 to
France, and of 92,958 to other foreign ports.
MOBILE, Feb. 7.—Cotton closed firm; sales to-day 4,200

PHILADELPHIA.—There is a more hopeful feeling among
the merchants, and a more active state of affairs is antici-
pated as the season advances. Money is abundant at cheap
rates, but it affords no incentive for speculative opera-
tions. Cotton meets a steady inquiry at the late ad-
vance. Coffee, sugar, and molasses are held firmly.
Fish are in better demand, and prices of mackerel are
higher. There is a fair business doing in both foreign
and domestic fruit, at former rates. Hemp and hides are
quiet. Iron meets a steady inquiry at the decline noted
last week. There is but little lead here in first hands.
Naval stores are rather firmer, and spirits of turpentine
has again advanced. In oils but little doing. Plaster is
scarce. Provisions are in small supply, and most descrip-
tions command better prices. The stock of rice in first
hands is very much reduced. Tallow, teas, tobacco, and
wool are steady.
