dissatisfaction and excitement.

The heavy failures and continued pressure In the
monetary affais, had caused further decline in the
market for breadstufs.
Il The anticipation Of an advance in cotton warrant
ed by previous advces it will be seen by the report
OF the market, have been sadly reversed,

The belief entertained at the departure of the last
steamer, that The upward tendency then indicated in
this market would be maintained, has, by the terri
c occurrences Of the last fortnight been utterly dis
PEELED. From number Of causes, the most startling
Of which is the unparalleled arrangement OF the
ney market, the price Of breadsus has gradually but
steadily retrogaded the only article which has pre-
served It's firmness being Indian corn. slackened
demand has Of COURSE materially contributed to this
result but the must be regarded merely tenn
porary. s tfgt

the arrivals of English grain were small; owing to
which, and the unusually large attendance of pur-
chasers, the demand was somewhat active, at an nd

supplies again brought forward, an average amount
Of business was done, and the market closed firmly.

i The prices Of cotton since our last adyices 1t will
be seem have seriously receded--a circumstance in
disputaby resulting from the aggravated condition Of
the money market, and the consequent impossibity
save in the rarest instances, of obtaining accommo-
datons. The universal panic which has seized upon
manufacturers, and the total destruction OF every
thing like speculative efforts in the lower qualities
particularly the decline Is more severely felt Ope-
rations since the arrival Of the Caledonia have been
Of the most limited character. Sales for the week
ending the first instant were about $1,000 bales; o.
which only 800 were on speculation. Since then the
sales have been about 5000 bales.
On the Sd instant 5000 bales were disposed Of, oil
to consumers, speculation being entirely suspended
and the demand being disproportioned to the supply
