New ORLEANS, June 5-night.
Remarks-'rhc market has dragged rather heavily
during the week. and Cotton, in particular, has been
very dull and prices rather lower. Corn and Wheat
have been the articles which have attracted most
attention. while Flour, owing to large receipts and
uniayorable accounts from the North, has declined.
The river has fallen six feet and is still receding ra
pidly.-Deltd.
Coftoa-Our report of Saturday night last left the
Cotton market exceedingly dull, at decline of ct.
which had followed the reception of the unfavorablc
accounts from Liverpool, per steamer Britannia

dcdy for the worse and prices have generally ruled
about Ct lower in the weeks transactions, which
barely amount to $500 bales, mostly for England and
the North We now quote inferior 9d9i; ordinary

per bril-. and early in the week prices were carried
up higher still, and some considerable sales were
made at 6S75 "a S for Ohio and Illinois brands. On

The market closes very fully at $780, and there

duction. Grain-Thc Corn market has been quite
brisk, buyers for the North being busy, well
European purchasers, and fully 100000 bushels
