New ORLEANS, April A.
We End the market in general extremely dull
III export demand for Western provisions is ex'
tremely limited, in consequence of which the sales
are principally confined to the consumption OF
the city and vicinity. The stocks are accuHu-
la.ing and prices have downward tendency.
The Cotton market is very unsettled since the
accounts by the Caledonia have been received from
Liverpool; both buyers and sellers appear to be
holding off, the former are looking for some re-
ducton from former rates, but the latter as yet
eyince very little disposition to lower pricesi but
It seems TO be the opinion they will have to do
50.
CorToy--This has been an extremely dull week
In the Article, yesterday there was about 800
bales sold; to-day there appears to be more en-
quring, and what sales are making are In favor
Uf the buyers. We however will not alter Quota
tions until the market becomes more stable. The

36c per bushel in sacks.
