There has been decided improvement In the stock

considerably, but the closing prices wsrs ia many in

OF the market the Saturday previous. Operators
have within the past day or two not been much dis

bears prerrng apparently to wait the arrival of the
steamer now nearly due than to involve themselves to
before the complexion OF the next foreign
is known The Hbernis the packet of the 4th inst
will bring fifteen days later accounts from all parts of
Europe and the general impression is that they will be
Inore favorable than tho last. We have NO doubt
that another list Of suspensions will b. reported and
that the rate Of interest will still rule high hut there were
evidently indications of returning condolences when the
last steamer left and II Is probable the public mind has
bsoome more settled. In the event of there being
further advance In bresdstus in the English markets.
It will give great activity to In this country and
place the returning prosperity OF Great Britain In

any Importance in the world, is rapidly increasing It's

cotton growers have, therefore, very little to fear
In the way Of prices. The consumption of the raw
