that with the small stocks in our country, and the
moderate supplies which the producing countries
can furnish us with, a material improvement must
ultimately take place. The Prussian government

REPORT FOR THE wEER ENDING FEBRUARY a..
There has been moderately fair demand for cot
ton all the week from consumers. Still the market
has been dull, fat and gloomy. In prices there is
very little change, and the quotations Of last week
will remain without alteration. No doubt consid-
cradle change to the matter Of discount has taken
place; good paper, though founded upon cotton,
which was previously objected to in some quarters,
is now convertible into cash, at not exorbtant rates
But with this fact before u.s. il is quite apparent
all persons frequenting the Liverpool Exchange, that
considerable pressure for money still exists and has
a considerable bearing all the produce markets OF
the port. $500 American and 900 Surat has beer
taken on speculation; and $500 American and 200
Surst for export. The Gales to-day are 1000 bags
The sales for the week amount to $3.50 bales.
