COTTON MARICET, MARCH 14

Though we cannot as yet quote any improvement of tone or
feeling in our Cotton market, we may safely call it a steady market,
with a fair daily demand upon it, amounting to 3500 bales. There
has been a better attendance of spinners to-day, but their pur-
chases have been generally on a small scale for their immediate
wants. The financial scheme of Sir Robert Peet is.well received
by all parties, and with the addition of his new Commercial Tarffr,
gives a guarantee that we must gradually recover from our pros-
trate condition, and extend our commerce on a more reciprocal
and enlarged basis. These, combined with a less speculative sys-
tem of business, will give to our staple article—Cotton Wool—a
fresh impetus, and enable us ere long, to, give to our constituents
a more flattering account of our Cotton market. • We must then
only remember the long and dreary time of depress on as a warn-
ing not to " go a head" faster than we can keep the commercial
and manufacturing coach steady and well balanced.

COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT.
The import this week has been uncommonly heavy, added to
which, the intelligence from India and China by the overland mail
has been of so unsatisfactory a character, that the gloom which
previously overspread the market has been rather 'increased than
diminighed. The state of suspense, moreover, with reference to
the intended financial changes, the developement of which is an-
nounced by M inisters for this evening, has had a further tendency
to cause a postponement and interruption to business. Owing to
the scarcity of the better qualities of American, fair and upwards
have maintained their ground, whilst the' lower descriptions have
been offered very freely, and are difficult of sale at a deeline of lid
lb. Brazil is also in limited demand,' at a like reduction. Surat
is without change. There have been taken for export 1550
American, 500 Peruvian, and 4uo Surat, and for speculation 4200
American .
