With a return •of East winds, and intense frost during the
last three days, we have had very few arrivals into this port
since Tuesday ; but the large supplies of Wheat, Oatmeal,
and Flour then stated, and still principally undisposed of,
furnish sufficient of these articles for the present ; the
demand, with the exception of a few sales of free foreign
NA heat for Ireland, and shipment coastwise, forming the only
feature in the trade worthy of remark, from the sth instant
up to this date, during which time prices have generalli
remained steady.

As the inland navigation is again likely to be closed by
the ice, very few local or country millers attended this day's
market. Holders of Wheat, nevertheless, appeared rather
more firm; and, although the transactions on the whole
were inconsiderable, the current rates of Tuesday last were
fully maintained, and in partial instances rather exceeded.
Seeing that no further exports from Canada can be re-
peated until the spring, importers of barrel Flour appear
mostly inclined to wait the chance of higher prices rather
than accept the rates now obtainable ; the dealers, on the
other hand, evincing a similar degree of indifference, we have
consequently to report a very limited amount of business in
this description to-day, while good reputed marks of home
and Irish manufacture moved off gradually to consumers on
the terms last noted.

In the absence of any supply of fine malting Barley, such
may be noted quite as high as of late ; while grinding sam-
ples were nearly without inquiry, and -nominal in value.
Prime new Malt was saleable on the full terms of last week ;
but ordinary qualities, being difficult of sale, were the turn
cheaper.

In Beans and Peas we have no change to notice.

Oats, still coming forward sparingly, steadili supported
our last quotations; and Oatmeal, although in limited re-
quest to-day, fully realized former prices.

COTTON MARKET, HAI

.-PAST Two O'CLOCK, P.M

The demand for Cotton is unabated, and fully 6000 bales
have been sold to-day at id to 4d advance on yesterday's
prices for American Surat. 2000 of the latter description
have changed hands on speculation account. Consumers
have purchased more freely to-day, and manifest some little
uneasiness at the sudden and unexpected rise.

The sales of the week are 35,000 bales, and the market
closes at an advance since stock taking of 8d to id in Ameri-
can and Surat, and id to Id in Brazil.

Speculators have taken during the week 15,000 bales
