NEW ORLEANS MARKET.

FEBRUARY 6.
Flour-In our last Wednesdays report |
we notice quite an active demand princi-
pally for export to England, but since
then the market has been rather quiet, as
the English buyers appear to have ceased
operations for The present, their orders,
generally, as We have before remarked |
being Sl limits below the rates now cur.
rent. The ruling price for supeT6ne con- |
tinueS 70 be 81 25, as last quoted, at |
which some parcels have been taken for
shipment to the NOrlh and TO the West
lndias, and one lOl of 500 barrels, Of an
extra brand, brought 4 so, for shipment
10 South America. The receipts. duIiHg
the last three days are rather large being
0Sll barrels, and the market Wag-adull
when wO left il yesterday. as
BeeE-We still quote Prime at Sc rs
al 90, the latter being the prevaiIing
rate for small parcels, 10 which tTsnsac-
tons at present appeaT TO be confined.
Western Mess commands Sl2 90 in
whole, and 81 90 in half barrels with a
small stock and limited demand. No
further supplies have come in during the
| last three days.
POrk-We mentioned in our last re-
port that the advanced rate demanded for
Mess had caused considerable falling of
in the demand, and this effect has been
sill more apparent during the last three
days, sales having reached but limited
extent, and only in small parcels. We
have no change, however, to note in pri.
ces, and still quote Mess at $lS 90,
MO III so, Prime, being relatively low.
er, 10 still engaging the attention Of buy
ers, and a fair demand exists al So rs q
10 90, though we have heard Of NJ large
transactions since the one noted in our
last. The receipts, during the last three
days, are quite light, being only 630 bar
rels and 6S,472 pounds in bulk. The
latter, owing TO the limited supplies, still
commands A "a S cents pei ID.
BacOn--All descriptions continue dull,
and our quotations are barely sustained,

. transactions are confined. Our figures
include both country and city smoked,

any further receipts since our last; but

Sugar-LOuisiana--The market in the
city continues rather inactive, there being
little demand, except for strictly pri me
sugars, which are scarce. The general
range Of prices, however, remains the
same as last quOted--say A 81 q 6 cents,
though we are advised Of a sale of 33
hhds choice at 9 t-S cents. The stock
on the levee is still quite moderate, tho
supplies are beginning TO come forward
a little more freely. The demand for
crops on plantation has been quite brisk,
and we understand that some 5000 10
600O hhds have changed hands during
the week, at 5 l.2 5 Ia cts.
MOlasses-There is fair demand for
barrels from the Levee, and the ruling
rate iS still 81 cents per gallon, with
better supply within the last day or two.
We note . sale of $4,000 gallons on plan.
tatiOn at l5s cents, but again remark that
the crops generally are held at l6 cents.
WhiSkey-This article has experienc.
ed rather better demand during the last
few days, but supplies continue to .eeme

been able 10 obtain any advance in the
price, which we still quote at 90 cents
per gallon for rectifed. Arrived since
our last 7E0 bbls.
