In relation to the movements in this market, T. J. Stewart's
circular, of this date, says:—
On Friday morning, we received, by telegraph, the Canada's
news, and were surprised to find that the advance after the
arrival of the Niagara was so limited, being only one-eighth to
a farthing ; nevertheless, the nuoyant aspect of the market was
unchanged, and the sales amounted to fully 3,000 bales—the
home trade again large buyers. The letters were delivered on
Saturday, and, as before, were perfectly satisfactory to the
recipients, explaining, as they did the efforts made to keep
prices down ; and as confidence has become greatly impaired
in this country, in the figures representing Stock Deliveries,
&c., at Liverpool, it was fully expected, that by one of the last
three steamers a verification of the stock would have been
appended. Such was promised after the disclosures of the Ist
January, and nothing short of an actual examination will satisfy
our friends here. The sales of Saturday were 2,000 bales, and
fully 2,500 bales yesterday, at previous prices, from the fact
that numerous small parcels were held here, under orders for
sale, after the arrival of this packet. This morning the sales
were 1,000 bales, prices unchanged.
Kr. Stewart concludes his circular with the following re -
marka.:—" The crop presents no new feature—it is virtually
determined and delivered. The receipts of the interior towns,
with what is at the ports, is the crop—so far as spinners are
concerned—as it is perfectly well known here, to every one
engaged an the trade, that the interior is exhausted to an ex-
tent unparallelled heretofore, and that the season for hauling
cotton was never equalled—the roads never were co dry
and level ; therefore, that can be no excuse for short com-
ings, if it had'been gleaned. As regards the next crop, the
re-planting is proceeding as far as the weather will admit.
The recent excessive rains are again throwing it back, and the
very mild winter we were favoured with, has hastened the.melt-
ing of the snow on the head-waters of the streams emptying
into the Mississippi, which has again placed under water
land equal to the cultivation of 250,000 bales, which it is now
feared will be entirely lost for the season. My correspondent
at Montgomery; Alabama, under date of 30th ult., writes—
" Fires are necessary for comfort to-day, and have been so for
a week. The ground is far from being in as good a state for
planting as last season, when we only delivered two-thirds of a
crop."

NEW ORLEANS, May 5, 1850.
Dealers in cotton are N,aitin?; the receipt of the Canada's
news, and as the wires are working very poorly, when at all,
they are rather cautions about operating, for fear that the news
may possibly have slipped over litvately, and be in the hands
of speculators. The market, howetor, is very firm, and the
sales embrace 2,500 bales at 124 for !Diddling*, 124 for good
middling, and 134 c. for fair. During the Wee* 11,000 bales
have changed hands.
