New ORLEANS, Saturday night, Feb b.
The past week has been one OF unusual activity IN
some departments Of business, more particularly IN
Flour and Grain and will be perceived that very
great improvement has taken place IN the prices Of
both. Our great staple, Cotton, however has rather
drooped and the great advance which ensurd upon
the reception of the Thems' adYices IS hardly sup
ported. Since our last, the steamer liIOcrna'S ac-
counts with Liverpool dates the 18th ult have been
received The accounts have produced a very strk
inc effect upon our market The weather has been
cloudy and unpleasant for two or three days past, and
to-day it has rained stcadily.--D la.
COiion-On Tuesday not a single bale was sold,
owing n fine rccruIon of the Hibema's accounts by
telcgraph 10 Baltimore but IN so unsatisfactory d
siat@ that neither buycrs or sellers were willing 10
act unon them. The mail failed on "Wednesday but
on the dav following the steamers letters came
through and in consequence alb 1u 1000 bales changed
hands The transactions Yesterday embraced 1000
bales and those Of to-day $500 bales making total
for the week Of $500 bales Prices have been cx-
