Effect Of the Foreign News on the Markets-Me-
at,Tcais, &c. SC.
The foreign news has been looked for here with
the greatest anxiety, and there seemed to be pre-
sentiment IN the minds of many, that it would ma
terally affect the cotton market-and acting under
this view, many holders OF cotton made large sales
at decline Of abou, &c. The whole amount of
sales during the past week amounted to % 600 bales
The rews came to hand Sunday after the papers had
been published, but very bruited abroad with
the rapidity with which unpleasant tdings always
spread The effect of tho intelligence 80 very mpor-
tant in all its branches has had the effect of creating
complete stsgnation in the cotton market and it will
probably be several days before it will assume any
thing like settled state and the next operation will
probably show material reduction. The crop is more
than an average and there less Of inferior article
in the market than heretofore The sales yesterday did
not certainly exceed two hundred bsies al re-
ducon OF and cent but at present holders are IN
willing to submit TO this reduction.
The principal operations now in flour and corn,
and ioI several days to come the sales will probably be
heavy Immediately after the reception Of the news,
the pnce oil flour raised from Sc so 10 ST. 81 and in
some cases TO SIS per barrel and would excite no sur
prise, further raise OF 25 cents should be made
doy The sales yesterday reported at about 800
barrels, but am inclined to think that they reached
thousand Some large sales at IS have been reported
this morning but cannot ascertain with any certainty
the amount and AN inclined TO think that II is mere
Iumor. There is plenty Of flour the river coming
down put II Will hardly lower the prices Corn brings
from so TO 81 cents sack-abou. 1000 sacks were dis
posed of yesterday. The weather has been intensely
neghborhood of degrees and will seonss affect the
sugar market as 1t Will greatly injure the fields OF

Weather-Murdey Of a Stare.
Since my last, the cotton market has somewhat
improved, although il ls said by the knowing ones
to be mere temporary mproyement-caused by
the recent purchasers buying at slightly reduced
rates, in order to make false aspect in the market,
that they may push oil their recent purchases at the
same rate, If not at advance. The sales yes,er-
day amounted TO about 5000 bales, at 81 a g. cents
Tor good mddllng; and q H. cents for fair. The
present hour halfpa IL o'clock heard of the
fsale OF about $500 bales at the The greater
part OF these purchases English account. The
market however is still in extremely unsettled state
The intensely cold weather contin ues with to-day a
heavy fog and the sugar market is materially affected
by it, very little business being done The corn and
flour market is in about the state when wrote
you last and some large purchases have been made

disposed OF yesterday at 81 81 30 per barrel The pre-
sent weather unexamped in this part of the country;
