COTTON-The features of the market
are as yet irregular and unstable, and the
currency vaciIlating. American descriptions
are recovering from their previous dsPres-
sion, and a partial advance has been obtain
ed on Bowels, owing to a speculative de-
maud for this description, though the trans
actions with the trade have been but mode
rate. An export inquiry has also facilitated
the sales of New Orleans, which advanced
about one eighth to one quarter penny.
NAVAL STORES-The demand and
currency Of raw turpentine remains both
very steady, but the sales have been Limited
TO about 800 barrels Of fair to good at
I5s. Sd. to l5s. Cd. per cwt. Tar has be-
come exceedingly depressed, owing to the
extent OF supplies Of late. a considerable
mart of which were, last week, offered at
public sale, but Withdrawn, with the excep-
r;on of 500 bbls. which were forced off at
ISIS. per barrel.
TOBACCO-More life has appeared in
the market within the last week or ten days,
several orders for shipment having been re-
ceived, though confined to Kentucky leaf,
which have been executed at very equitable
rates, according to existing circumstances,
viz: 2id. to gid. per lb. for ordinary to low
middling quality; in other descriptions no.
thing Of consequence has. been done. The
sales TO the trade continue very limited.
RICE-The extremely low currency Of
this article has occasioned a better demand
and brisker sale, together with some i'm
provement in price. Good new Carolina has
realised les. and rather inferior to middling
las. to I5s. per cwt. at which rates upwards
Of 500 casks have been taken out Of the mar
ket during the last week.
