NEw.YoRK, SErr. l0.-Cofes.-The transac.
tions of tho week have been fair, the demand
nrincipally for export. Prime green and rood
lava are wanted the market being nearly bare
of both descriptions.
Cotton.-1'he business of the week in Cotton.
has been similar to the previous one, mac
tive; no shippers Of any consideration. The
sales confined to manufacturers who have taken
4 few lots at IL 90 cts. and one of fancy a,
about 90 cents. The stock continues light,
about $4,000 bales principally low qualities, and
very little in the southern ports.
FIour.-Our market for Western early in the
week was excessively dull, and sales were with
difficulty effected at SO so to IS, but at tho
close the market rallied, and sales readily made
at our quotations, which shows an advance Of
fully 18 cts. per brl.
Suear.-The demands is chiefly confined to
hogshead Sugars, of which there are few in mar
ket, and prices are firm. In box Sugars there is
not much doing, and sales have been made at q
| slight reduction from previous prices.
| Our Cotton market remains in rather unin-
| teresting condition, though the arrival and sale
of few bales of the new crop has created, as
| usual, some little competition between those who
are anxious to secure these early receipts for d.
ferent manufactures in the northern States.
The quality the Cotton sold is said to be about
good fair, and was disposed of as follows, viz 4
bales at ls, at ls. 8 at lsa, IL at lei, Sat II,
| and Al at lS cents. Sales made under such cir
cumstanccs, just as the season is about to open,
but before any thing decided has been done, will
not always serve as an index ofthe course of fu-
ture transactions; and they sometimes lead TO
expectations that arc not afterwards realized.
Experience heretofore, has shown that those who
forward their Cotton early, have generally reap
ed the best prices, and our friends in the country
being aware of this, will no doubt consult their
own interest and push business as much as poss-
BILE. For tho old Cotton on hand, there does not
appear to be any demand, though we are not
without few sales to notice, viz: - bales Lou.
isiana and Mississippi at Isl, q bales Texas at
| l6i, 400 Tennessee and n. Alabama at II, l53
at I23 cents.

Sugor.-The market for n. Orleans Sugar
presents tolerable firm appearance, but we arc
yet without the slightest improvement to notice
in the demand. Havana Sugars are rather more
sought after, and there has been some business
doing at prices within the scope Of our former
| quotations: white ii l45, brown 81 a 10.
Baeon.-Hams remain stationary as to price,
and there is very little inquiry; Middlings and
Shoulders have improved shade, and though
not in active demand, particularly the latter,
there is vet fair business doing. -
Lard.-Our quotations, l! a l6 cents, arc full
high for the market, though we have not heard
of any sales of good Lard this week for less.
Most fthe present sales are very small. as buy
ers for export cannot pay such rates. The stock
| in first hands is quite small.
