Of the steamship Caledonia, on the 4th inst, busi-

there has been some speculation Trade In the cot

cludes with more spirit and promise than il exhibit

HAvaE.--oor. 15.--corroS.--rhe fatness that
has predominatedin business during the past week,
has been greater than we have witnessed for some
length of time, notwithstanding the intelligence from
Liverpool, where the adyiees Of the 18th ult, re-
ceived from the United States, had been productive
Of some speculative feeling This has not been the
case in our market, which has worn an exceedingly
dull aspect, during the whole Of the week; tho de-
mand for the trade has been of most limited de-
scTption, although amongst the transactions about
100 bales purchased 70 arrive, not the slight
est speculative spirit has been evnced, and prices,
without having undergone any real depreciation are
more in favor Of the buyer than the seller. There
has, however been no pressure TO realize on the
part Of holders nor do they seem inclined 10 make
the slightest concession; but under the present cir
stances IL is than probable that in order TO effect
sales TO any great extent, decline would be newt
able The interior having been amply supplied by
the considerable operation that took place previous
the last fortnight, immediate revival Is likely
to occur at the great advance that has lately been
obtained in prices unless the next accounts from the
other side OF the Atlantic, shortly expected by the
Cambria steamer, should bring news Of an unfavor-
able nature the coming crop, in which case fresh
impulse may be anticipated.
