#a WEDNESDAY, May 81, 1Sf3,
Theirs has been n considerable falling
off in business since our last, and the
transactions generally have been less 81.
~ioneiye than we have noticed for sonis
Time past. W. have arrived Mt n period Of
the year, when but little animation cap b.
expected, and already IA great many Of
our merchants and citizens ate lea wing on
their annual excursions to The Morrill,
Since eur last We In We received a few days
later advieos from Europe, and their ten"r
affords but little encouragement for those
parties engaged In the cotton trnde. The
enormous imports into Liverpool, ~pafticu.
larly Of the inferior and niddling qiali.
ties, had caused n complete glut In The
market, and sales Of these descriptions
were making nj n loss TO importers Of five
dollars a bale.
Coton-~1n our report Of Saturday last
VIZ stated that The cotton market had
evinced considerable animation towards
tho close Of the week. as the decline then
noticed had induced buyers 10 step for.
ward. On Saturday, however, there was II
falling of in the demand, and only 400
bnles were disposed Of, ut prices rather in
favor Of buyers. Sundays mail brought
III ndvicos by thu Boston steamer up to
tho Attn inst, representing the condition
of tho Liverpool market rs being anything
but favorable for shipments, and reporting
n further decline on the ordinary qualities,
with which the market continued 10 be
greatly oyerstocked. These accounts had
the effect Of driving purchasers from the
market, and Mondays business only coln.
priscd 500 bales nj n decline in most in.
Of llsc. Yesterday. however, the
market recovered from the depressing ef
feet Of The news, and about 1900 bales
changed hands ut prices which scarcely
show my falling of from those previously
paid. We retain therefore, our former
quotations, although on some sales a slight
decline is percepiib e.
The receipts since the Goth instant. are
B51s bales, and the exports 222i6.
