MoBuE-wcck preceding Aug. II.
Rcmarhs-Thc general characteristics of the mar
Itct are the same noticed in our last review.
! August is always the dullcst month in the year.
The weather has been chaugcablc, and portion of
: the time rather mayorable TO health. There have
been few scattering eases of yellow fever report
cd but the disease has yet assumed an alarming
shape, and the general health of the city is good
jour- # Com.
C'ottOn-The market has been very firm throuhg-
have been made at the quotations given below. The
transactions IN the early part of the week
paratively light, both buyers and sellers were
willing to wait for the foreign adviccs then daily
expected by the steamer Washington. These came
TO hand on Saturday On Monday the Hibcrnia's &C
counts TO the 10th ult. to hand and were of the
same general tenor as those of the Washington. The
consequence is, holders here have increased conf
dcncc, and are very stiff in their prctcnSons. Prices
have ranged from ord at TO- to II cts for fair The
stock hand is s., 532 bales. In relation to the
| L,,-,
counts The rains have done serious injury, and
there begins to be considerable complaint of the
worm. w e doubt however, whether the vertable
army worm that made such devastation last season
has yet made its appearance and hope the crop will
yet escape its ravages.
New ORLEANs-3 DAYS preceding Aug T.
Remarks-The business Of the week has been on
a limited scale throughout the market generally
The receipts from the interior have become very
limited, and little is doing in brcadstufs for export
but the light supplies, together with favorable ac-
counts from the North, have caused prices of Flour
to recover materially. The Cotton market has re-
manned in very quiet state, the daily expectation
of later European advices having disincncd parties
to continue their operations at the full prices asked
The weather since our last has been extremely
warm, though we have continued to have almost
daily showcrs-sOmc very heavy. The thermometer
has ranged at 9Oagl degrees in the shade-the high
est point this In regard to the health of the
city, may remark that of yellow fever have
occurred in the Charity Hospital practice since the
early part of last month, but within the past week
the number has greatly augmented there as well as
in various parts OF the city and the Board of Health
have publicly announced that probably on the
eve Of an epidemic. The river continues to fall and
is now feet inches below high water mark
Price Current.
CoLon-The sales of the week have been 1000
bales and although the market is decidedly easier,
by more willing sellers presenting themselves, we
cannot, except for very inferior Alabama, quote
price less than our previous rates. The range has
been 9,al2 for ord. to fair, inclusive. The stock
remaining hand is 81, 2i7 bales. 1obacco-The
