COTTON MARKET.

Observation-Disclosures that busi-
ness has been favored with fine weather
throughout the week, without interruption,
the market remains embarrassed and dull.
To an. observer Of exteriorsappearance, a
mere locker on, affairs would seem to have
improved. The Levee is very animated,
the streets are occupied continually with
drays, transporting merchandise from place
to place, the side walks are obstructed by
packages of merchandise and passengers,
the stores and shops appear to be occupied
busily; yet we are assured that the scarcity
of cash in circulation, is such as to seriously
impede, if not absolutely prevent operations.
With all the appliances and means other
wise necessary, the commerce of the city
drags heavily AMI slowly along, for want Of
circulating medium.
