(From W. P. Wright's Circular, of September 7)—
We have a good, though by no means a general, inquiry
for cotton during the past week ; prices have been steadily
maintained, and close at an advance of *c. to 4c. per lb. On
the quotations of last week. The business has been done
for export and on speculation, with small sales to our
domestic consumers. We continue to receive conflicting
accounts from the cotton-growing region on this subject.
From Alabama we have complaints of rain. From Augusta,
Charleston, and Savannah, I learn it was raining on the
Ist, 2d, and 3d instant, which, if general, will have an un-
favourable influence on the crop in those sections. The
accounts from Texas and the country tributary to New
Orleans are better.

NEW COTTON.—The receipts at New Orleans to the
27th August are only 60 bales, against 1,700 same time
last year. In Mobile, to same date, some 250 bales have
been received, against about 20 last year, to same date.

The annual statement of commercial affairs at New Or-
leans is published in the Prices Current, of the Ist instant.
Tt makes the total receipts of cotton at that port for the
year 1,655,000 bales, and the eaporte 1,64b,000. The
total value of produce received during the past year was
$134,000,000, including $68,250,000 in cotton. The crops
were in a favourable condition.
BREADSTIMM—After the arrival of the Atlantic on
Saturday there was considerable excitement in the flour
market, and a further improvement of about 622-c. was
realised, the market closing buoyantly, but yesterday there
was some reaction, though quotations still stand 62-ic. to
75c. per bbl. higher than on Friday last. The export de-
mand has been large for England and France, chiefly the
latter, and being in excess of the supply, which is not
large, prices have rapidly improved. Speculators have
also operated to some extent, and there is a large inquiry
for future delivery, but the transactions have been re-
stricted by the unwillingness of holders to go on except at
a further improvement in rates. Wheat has continued in
active demand, both for milling and export, chiefly the
latter, for France, and though the arrivals are pretty large,
the market has been somewhat excited, and prices now
stand Bc. to 10c. higher than on Friday last. We notice
a good demand for corn, both for home use and export,
and a moderate supply and favourable prices abroad have
induced a speculative inquiry, prices in consequence are
about one cent higher.
PROTISIONS.—Western pork has continued in good de-
mand, and with light arrivals and a stock of mess and
prime reduced to about 25,000 brls., prices of mess and
clear have advanced, the market closing firmly. Beef in
better request, and prices well supported. Lard less active,
and a trifle lower. Butter in good demand, and firm at
previous rates. Cheese in better request, and advanced
to 81c. to 9-Ic. for fair to prime.
SALT.—The market is well supplied with the various
descriptions, and prices tend downward. The sales include
1,623 sacks Liverpool, part ground, supposed at $1 15c. to
$1 17ic., four months.
NAVAL STORM—The arrivals of turpentine continue
very light, and prices are rather nominal, though $5 would
have been accepted yesterday for some lots of North
County to arrive. Spirits turpentine receded slightly.
Rosins continue in good demand.
IROX.—Scotch pig is firm, and further sales of 400 to
500 tons have been made at $33 to $33 50c., eash.
FREIGHTS.—The rates to Liverpool advanced 10d. in
bulk for grain, and 11d. in ship's bags, but closed dull,
with light engagements at 9d. in bulk for wheat, and
2s. 6d. for flour, cotton being taken at id. To London :
rosin, 3s. 9d.; and oil, 30s. To Glasgow : wheat, 9d. All
classes of vessels are scarce, and there is a firm feeling
generally.

NEW 011LEINS.—Sept. 2 : Sales, 1,200 bales, without
change in prices since the reception of advices per Europa ;
middling, 101 e. per lb. ; stock on hand, 11,000 bales.—
Sep. 3 : A sale of 1,400 bales cotton, classing middling,
was made to-day, at 10/c. per lb.
CHARLESTON, AUG. 31.—The sales of cotton during the
week have been 903 bales, at unchanged prices. Good
middling is quoted at 11c.
MOBILE, AUG. 31.—N0 sales whatever, the cause of
which may be traced to the total absence of unemployed
shipping, the unsettled condition of European affairs, and
the extremely high prices at which our factors hold' the
limited stock on. sale. The prices demanded exceed the
limits of foreign orders lie. to lac. per lb. No freight
for Liverpool.
BALTIMORE, SEPT. 6.—Our flour market continues ex-
cited ; the sales to-day were 13,000 barrels, at $6. White
Wheat sells at $1 25e. to sl3oc.
