CONTINENTAL MARKETS.

HANRE, June 10.
COHon-The discouraging tenor of the accounts
from England has contributed in great measure to-
wards the pressure in the market, and to this may
be chiefly ascrbcd the decline of about f.3 that oc-
cured in American Cotton, which continued up to
last Saturday, when revival in the buying created
Il better feeling and prices regaincd fl to of the
ground they had previously lost. Since the opening
of the present week, the sales have been to mode
rate extent at well supported rates. We are de-
priyed of any recent adviccs from the United States,
but are hourly looking for those by the Britannia
steamer of 3lst ut., which are expected to contain
intelligence of peculiarly interesting nature Sales

HAMBURGH.-Cotton has been in better demand
and prices about Is. higher. Among the sales

BREsLAu.-Wool: buyers are picking up all the
good parcels fast they in at prices several
dollars higher than last year. Since then prices
have been decidedly higher. This is not occasioned
by any degree of speculation, by the purchases of
few individuals; but the buyers from various coun-
tries, Netherlands, France, Germany, and Russia,
all eager to lay in stocks, and especially
manufacturers, which places the dealers in rather an
awkward dilemma. The English are, generally
speaking, holding back, especially the dealers, with
some few exceptions. The fair is now drawing to a
close for Slesian woods, although it ought only to
begin to-day. Up TO Saturday about $4,000 cwt.
sold, and yesterday large business was done.
Prices varied muchfrom five to ten, and even eleven
dollars higher than last year.
