•NEW YORK MARKET,. Nov. 25, 1839.
RENIA K.S.—The condition of things is getting- noise"-
e ;quiet
and settled. All fears and* apprehensions as to Our banks
sustaining themselves have passed away, and tbe state of the
money market is more uniform. Cold weather appears to
have set in suddenly, and the navigation of our' canal must
have ceased. This is not only a' disappointment but a loss,
as a large amount of produce on the way must be detained
from reaching its destination until spring. The approaching
session of Congress is looked for with great interest, from
the close position of parties, and there must. be a great de-
gree of excitement at the opening of the session.
STOCXS.—There has becii-I most favourable change in
Stocks. The downward tendency that has prevailed for a
long time seems to have been checked, and 'a better feeling
prevails. SoMe descriptions have gone up 10 per cent. This
has been a very great relief to holders; and has inspired a
good deal of confidence:
Excn AN GE-12OREIC.-The rate of bills on London had
been down to 1041 to 185, and stood there for several days
prior to the sailing of the Great Western.' On the departure
of that vessel there-was a sudden rise to 1081 on -London,
and even to 109, and the sales were enormously large ; in
deed, we have seldom known a greater demand. The amount
of bills sent out was immensely large. The rate on France
also improved considerably. The crop of cotton, however,
is now going rapidly forward. and, as the orders for goods are
known to be small, it is pretty certain that exchange cannot
rise so high as-to carry Out much specie. There is; however,
constantly a very large demand for bills to pay the interest
on our. State. Securities held in London. That of itself will
continue to produce a very considerable demand.
. sales' of both Pots and Pearls extend to
about 500 brls. each ; the former at 4,50 doll. each,' and the
latter at 5 doll. per

Rye Flour is quite active at- 4,15 dollars to 4,50, and Corn

NET ORLEANS COTTON MARKET, Nov.. 14.
Sales of Cottoit, yesterday, were about 650 bales from what
we can learn, and whiCh were made at former prices in the
early part of the day, previous to reeeipt:of Liverpool advices
per Great• Western. - These reached the city about twelve
o'clock, after which hour we ascertain no transactions, as is
usually the case 'on such ()tensions, the market requiring%
sufficient time to settle. We understand, however, that
tl:?re were some inquiries by English buyers, who, it is sup-
po.,ed; have received orders which will admit of being filled •
at the now ruling rates ; but, from the vresent fluctuating
stele cf the market, these persons feel disposed to hold back
from operating_

MOBILE COTTON MARKET.
(From the Mobile Prices Current, Nov. 9.)
COTTON.—Arrived during the week, 477 bales. Exported
to Boston, per brig Token, 187 bales, leaving a stock on
hand, inclusive of all on shipboard, not cleared, of 1922
against 40M same time last season. The sales of the week

amount to about 180 bales, 'wholly for manufacturers, the
demand being remarkably limited, much more so than at
any former period. The qualities sold are fair to good fair,
and good fair at 12c. to 121 c., being a decline of 4 cent since
oar last report. The stock on hand is gradually increasing,
and we may quote the article as dull.
We have the satisfaction of announcing, that sickness has
entirely disappear.d from our city, and that the only existing
drawback on business is the low state of the rivers. Strangers
iire flocking from every point in large crowds, and there is
every promise of a-most busy state of affairs in the mercan-
tile line. The stocks of dealers are large, and they are
daily accumulating, but the reason previously urged prevents
the forwarding of orders tbr the interior, as the slight rain
experienced since our last could have had no other effect
than that of merely damping the around. Yesterday, and
the day previous, frost and ice were both discoverable around
the city, and strangers may, therefore, apprehend no danger
in visiting us._ _

Exehange.—lt is difficult at this moment to classify rates
on the northern cities. We, therefore, give our quotations
as nominal, viz. on New York, sight, 101 per cent. prem.;
60 days, 6 ; no supplies of either. Freights.—Nothing
doing to Europe. New York remains dull at l dol. nets.
per hale.

CHARLESTON -MARKETS, SATURDAY, No
There has been an improvement in every branch of trade
within the past fortnight, so far as operations in dry goods
end groceries are concerned ; but, notwithstanding this ge-
neral improvement, our fall trade has not opened with that
vigour nor to that extent, owing to the difficulties of the
tiim,s, which elkaracterized the corresponding period for seve-
ral past seasons. •

CorroN.—There has been quite an active demand for
Upland cotton since our last. On Saturday lots were offered
at the prices quOted In our review that day, but • without
meeting purehaserS. On Monday, however, holders met
buyers at ie., and, in some instances, le. lb. decline on last
week'n-quotations, when an active business was done up to
the closing of the market on Thursday ; but, throughout
yesterday, the article was in a drooping condition, and a fur-
ther decline was anticipated:
EXCHANGE.—BiIIs on England 9 to 10 per cent. prem. ;
Tranee sf. 25c. to 30e. per dollar ; sight-checks on the
north, 9 to` 10 per cent. prem.-; bills of exchange on the
north, as taken by the bankers ; sight, 3 per cent. prem. ; 30
days. per cent. die. ; Richmond, GO days, -1 pee cent.;
Mobile Bank bills;'ls 'per cent. die.
