REMARKS ON THE MARKET,
FOR THE FAST THREE DAYS.

At the date Of our last report the Western Pro
duce market was in a very unsettled state, the ad-
vices per Cambria Of the intended reduction or to-
tai repeal Of the duties several promineMt arti-
ces imported into Great Britain, having induced
holders either TO Withdraw their stocks or claim
material advanced rates. These claims, however,
not having been met and sustained on the part Of
buyers, the market has since maintained dull and
dropping aspect. and for most articles Is gradually
falling back inio It's forner position IL will be
that large business has been done in Cotton, and
that fair degree of activity prevails in the Sugar
market.
The weather since our last has been mild aad
pleasant, with slight rain ai the close of yestcr-
day
The river is 9 feet inches below hirh-v,a.er

In our review of last "Wednesday morning we
stated that since the arrival Of the European
counts per steamer Cambria, Of the itA ultimo,
received ON the Saturday previous, there had been
very little business done IN Cotton either Eng-
lish French account, in consequence Of which
less activity had prevailed in thr market than be-
fore, the prices for the lower grades appeared to
be rather easier, though not TO extent, however
requiring any change in quotations The market
opened on Wednesday with pretty fair demand
chiefly the part Of buyers for the German and
Mediterranean pJrts and for our home markets at
the North, and about 6JDO bales changed hands.
Prices Cor the better qualities were Id general very
well supported. but for the lower grades holders
were in some instances compelled TO make trifing
concessions in order to effect sales In the early
pat of Thursday the market exhibited pretty much
the same features as on wednesday, but the num-
Der Of buyers having increased the day advanced,
the demand at length became very active, and re-
suited in sales to the extent or $500 bales, prices
at the close being little steadier than before
Yesterday exceedingly brisk demand prevailed
throughout the day, embracing lots Of every de-
scrpton. and the business reached to the unusually
large amount Of To- 500 bales. Under the influence
Of such active demand, the market very soon
not only recovered entirely from any depression
which It had previously exhibited, but Il also inn
proved about eighth Of cent on all descriptions
below Fair, will BE- seen by referring to our
quotations Although the business Of the three days
has been so large, English buyers have not parti-
cipated in il TO any great extent. Purchases TO a
considerable amount have been made for ,he ports
both in the North and South Of Europe, and our
Western manufacturers have also been operating,
but The largest part oil the business, perhaps, has
been on Northern account. At the close Of busi-
ness last evening there was a very small amount
of Cotton offering. the stock in first hands being
commonly light for the season. and the market ap
peared TO have decidedly upward tendency. The
transactions Of the week amount TO ~ 100 bales
