The ship Euphrates, Capt. De Cost. ar
rived at this port on Saturday evening, in
IA days from Liverpool. From our CORES

Our imports still continue considerable,
and our stock Of late has in consequence
been INCREASING. About thirty thousand
bags cf East India will be bro't 10 sale in
London on the 96th instant. Much of this
kind of cotton is already held on specula-

the market, il is apprehended will have 4
depressing effect on the prices.
The disposition to speculate in -four, since

wheats in the kingdom during the last TX
weeks, cannot have been less than equal TO
