New ORLEANS MAKET.
Wednesday, April 10.
CoTT0N.-In our review of Saturday
morning last, we noticed the immediate ef-
feet which the foreign news had exercised
on Cotton, remarking that prices had given
way 3 4 tc, that furthermore the market had
been characterized by great irregularity,
and had closed with a dropping and unset
tied tendency. On Saturday, holders dis
played great anxiety to realize, which re-
suited in sales to The extent of 7OCO bales,
whilst others not willing to sell at the de-
cline entered into arrangements for ship
ping 1000 bales, which relieved the mark
ct together of about 900 bales.
On Monday and yesterday there was
more disposition to operate, arising from
the decreased cost of transportation, and as
a consequence. about IL 900 bales changed
hands, nearly the whole of which of was
taken for England. The market has
acquired more steadiness Stree the begin
ming ofthe week, and appears to close with
better feeling. although the decline before
noticed, is COW established, more particular
ly on the lower qualities The total 6usi-
ness Of the past few DAYS, including ship
ments. has reached $4,000 bales.
The rec pts since the 9TH inst. 1872
bales, and the exports 1901 bales; leaving
a stock on hand. including all on shipboard
not cleared yesterday, of 24l .895 bales.
SUGAR.-TheTe is a slow but gradual de-
crease in the stock consequent in the falling
off in the receipts, which coupled with a
good enquiry. gives the market an upward
tendency. We quote from 81 7sc. for in
