STATE or THE MARKET.

NEW YoRK, April 7.--The Commercial
news from England, brought by the Crisis
yesterday forenoon, OF The unprecedented
advance in the price of cotton and several
other articles OF American and colonial pro

this city, during the business hours of YES
terday. We learn thai n very considerable
portion of the cotton in market, and also
som" other articles, changed hands several
times during The day, and that some Of the
knowing ones' made fortunes of ten,
twenty, and even ore hundred thousand
dollars by spcculatlons on the Kialto,"
between l 0 and 4 O'clock. A clerk in one
OF our first mercantile houses, we are told
gave $500 a day for THREE previous days,
To have the refusal of one lot OF cotton at a

concern offered lot of a few hundred .a!es
