COTTON.—The inactive state of our cotton market
which prevailed here immediately after receipt of the ac-
counts per Pacific, continued on Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday last week, when slight concessions were general
on the very limited sales made. On Saturday the sales
were on a more extensive scale, and three large " lists"
were disposed of. Yesterday there was less cotton offer-
ing : holders demanded full rates. The sales amounted
to 1,300 bales, and the market closed with a feeling of
greater confidence. The total sales since the 14th instant
have been 10,000 bales. The southern markets are with-
out much change, prices are well supported, but the
transactions are limited, the season being virtually closed.
The accounts from the south confirm the previous
statements, and fully agree in representing the crop
as two weeks later than that of last year. The receipts
into the ports during the past week have been 12,000
bales. against 21,000 bales in the corresponding week
of last year. The excess is reduced to 212,000 bales,
and will be further reduced next week. The excess in
export to Great Britain is now only 27,000 bales as com-
pared with the same period last season. The stock on
hand is 100,000 bales more than at this time last year;
one-half of the excess is held here beyond the amount at
same date last year. The stock is less than in 1851 or
1850. The quotations of strictly middling and upwards
are without change ; the lower grades are depressed, and
may be quoted Ic. to Ic. per lb. below those on the 14th
instant. Holders have maintained their position with
great firmness under the disappointment of unfavourable
advices from Europe.
BREADSTUFFS.—The receipts of Flour continuing very
moderate, with a good demand for home use, the sti-

sale, at 2c. per bushel advance on last week's prices. In
