(From Mr. W. P. Wright's Circular.)
The business in Cotton continues to be done generally
for England and France, with a large share on local
speculation. Holders are very firm, and only sell when
full rates can be obtained ; and there seems to be great
confidence in the maintenance of present prices. caused
mainly by the continued declining receipts, as well as by
the fact that the Liverpool market was already favourably
influenced by the first two weeks of reduction in the
excess.

BREADSTUFFS.—The advance in flour quoted on the
12th instant was sustained only for a day or two after-
wards, the successive accounts from England of declining
prices and forced sales having produced a dull feeling,
but, so far, with only a slight decline in prices, say 6c.
per barrel, in shipping qualities only. Wheat is scarce,
and commands relatively high prices. Corn has come
forward freely, principally round, from Jersey and the
North River, and as the demand for export is light, and
that for home use not large, prices are lower, the market
closing dull.
PROVISIONS.—There has been an increased demand
for pork during the past three days, with an advance in
prices, but yesterday there was a little reaction, and some
concession was made from the extreme rates of Monday.
They are still, however, about 12} cents above those cur-
rent on Friday last. Beef continues unsaleable, though
no lower, and the better grades are firm, with a fair de-
mand, but no higher. Cheese is in fair request for ex-
port and home use, and prices are slightly higher, say 9c.
to 91c. for fair to prime, and 10c. for choice.
SALT.—SaIt continues firm, the moderate supplies
being taken readily on arrival. The sales are 8,150 sacks
Liverpool ground and fine, part before arrival.
NAVAL STORES.—The last sales of rough turpentine
were at $1,75. Spirits of turpentine is firm, with sales
at 60c. Rosin is dull at last week's prices.
IRON.—A few hundred tons of Scotch pig have changed
hands for future delivery, chiefly at $33 to $31,50, and
parcels here are selling in a small way at $35 to $37, 6
months. In English bars there is nothing doing. 35
tons Swedish steel iron brought 4.92,50 on time.
COAL.—Liverpool coal continues depressed, with an
accumulating stock ; 175 tons Orrel brought $7,50, four
months, which is a decline. Hard is in good demand, at
$5 from the vessel, and $5,50, cash, delivered from yard.
FREIGHTS.—To Liverpool there has been little going
forward, and we have only to notice engagements of wheat
at 51-d. ; flour, 2s. to 2s. 3d. ; cotton, d. to 5-16 d. ; Sea
Island, id. ; and tobacco, 30s. To London the offerings
