MARKETS, sc.
u. s. STOCKS IN LONDON.
Winners European Timss saws:
The payment of the February dividend on
the Pennsylvania bonds has given much salts
faction not only To holders of that stock, but
to parties INTERESTED in all other United States
securities.
Several large transactions have occurred in
Pennsylvania bonds at 694 to 20, and there is
much disposition to purchase other Stocks
but there are a few sellers at the quotations.
LIVERPOOL, March %, lSi5.-The brisk
deuland for Cotton noticed i'm our Circular Of
the 81 instant, continued on the two follow.
ing days with increased activity, and at the
close of the week which ended on the 9TH in
slant, the quotations for fair were further adj
vanced sd per h., but the market then took a
turn the other way, and has since been heavy
and declining, particularly so since the 18th
instant, when the Boston steam, r of the LIST
instant arrived, and prices are now fully hd
lower than on the 3D. instant. This is ascribed
mainly To the accounts of the greatly increased
receipts into the American ports, and increas-
ed estimates of the crop.
LARD.-Ameilcan Lard OF fine quality, in
kegs, has been sold this week at 39s. g., and
i'll barrels at 3Ss. TO 3Ss. 81. per cwt.
PROVlSlONS.-American Beef and Pork
has been in moderate request during the pres
ent month, principally, however, for Ships
use. Lard in consequence of the high price
OF Butter has attained, brings full rates; the
latter article continues high in value; but the
advance caused the transactions to be more
limited.
TOBACCO.-We have but a dull market
for Tobacco throughout the month, but as re-
CARDS prices there is no change whatever to
notice. The sales amount TO 776~ hogsheads.
