COTTON.
There has been this week a small import
from Newt reans-l2o bales, chiefly the
growth of Tennessee, OF which was offered
At auction and was bid up to III cents per
ID. our stock continues so triAlng that we
have little t. remark on the transactions
which occur in this article-the supply is
inadequate to our domestic consumption
Nothing is doing here fer expectation and we
notice with some surprise, the high prices
paid by our neighbors, w.o continue TO make
shipments al the sau,e rates, or very nearly
the same, as can be obtained al Liverpool
our adyices from thence come down to the
10Th ult, at which time, such quantities OF
cotton as are usual y shipped from this port,
Philadelphia, N. York and Boston were sell
ling at lid lI4i per pound. e. 90 or FL
cents.
COFFEE.
Our stock continues very light, nor are
our imports calculated to render il burden
some-we have only Cne arrival reported at
the custom house, hiCh is from Havana
and brings us &c barrels and 3l5 bags-this
coffee was wanted and has been sold princi-
paly a, $50 cents per lb-27 cents are now
ask ed--good ST. Domingo readily sells at
95 cents. and Porto Rico at &c e65-the
demand for the trade is very animated, and
we are not without enquiry for shloments;-
besides some orders for purchases on &C
count-under these circumstances, we an
ticipate an improvement, equal to the rise
which has taken place at Boston and New
York.
Is steady but not quite SO brisk as for two
or thresw preceding-the price for new
manufactured, is still dos. rs per Dbl
Since our last review We have advices from
various parts of Europe, which all concur in
representing the prospect as very favorable
for an abundant haryest-the Liverpool ac-
counts hold out no expectation OF the ports
opening on the 9th August; out whether
they may or may not be opened Tor The I'M
portstj,,n of wheat and -four on the succeed
lag quarter, will depend entirely on the Sc
curing of the crops. which cannot be ascer
tanned with certainty before the end OF Sep
TENDER. or even later. The last average
price of wheat IS ststed at IS Id per quarter
Tor bushels of 90 10 each) SO that an ad-
vance of i've dollars on eight bushels would
admit gran and -four TO en,ry in the ports OF
Great Britain tor home consun ptlon and
j; Is not very exiavagant calcnial ION TO
suppose that ar acvance OF % cents per
bushel would take place, even on the ap-
pearauce of bad weather Tor the harvest.

TOBACCO,
(Mary l--consderab business was
done at ouriate quotations in the early part
of the week, vi since the arrival OF letters
