For the last 5 weeks there has been a
very brisk demand for all descriptions OF
Cotton, and Sc, 600 bags sold in that Pc
Rod, of which 28, 600 have been AmerI-
can. In the early part of last month the
prices for Upland declined nearly I'd per

wards the close of it, but in the last III
days the prices have been quite stationary |

derable abatement in the demand, only |

been very brisk demand for cotton twist
for export at small improvement in the
prices. Tie demand for Cotton Goods is
not 50 brisk as it was, but we do not un-
derstand that any particular complaints
are made of accumulation of stocks OF
them. The imports of American Cotton
in the present year 10 this country amounts
to So, 900 bags. which is little more than
they were at the same period last year.-
From the Brazils they have been 38 COO
bags, being twice the quantity that were
imported to this period last year. No reli:
ance is yet to be placed on the continued
accounts of the deficiency in the produce
of the last crop of American cotton, and
| it is evident that they are not borne out by
any diminution of import.
The consumption of Cotton in this coun'
try in the present year is not likely to DIT.
fer much from what it was in the last, and
as the stocks in the ports of American de.
scriptions, exceed 100000 bags, and no
quate imports for the present year, nor OF
diminution of the future growth, we are
not aware of any existing circumstance TO
justify reasonable hopes of higher prices
for the future; it is however, possible. that
a comparative scarcity Of the best qualities
OF Uplands and Orleans may enhance their
value little.
But upon the whole we consider it pro.
| bable that the general price for the next 6
| months will rather be lower than otherwise,
and in the present year there has scarcely
been any speculation, although OF late some
of the wealthy spinners have been augmen.

in this market sell at los per 7Olb. and

permit the Foreign Wheats now in bond to

should it succeed. the -four so made will
not in our opinion, be considered equal in
quality to American super6ne. An expec.
tation has been entertained, that the di.
rect trade between America and the West
Indies would be resumed, but the subject
is yet. we understand, one of negotiation
between the governments. and if arranged
will have to be carried into effect by an
Act OF Parliament. The average of wheat
