ly felt in the Stock market, and prices in some de-
scrptons have suffered a material reduction. Cotton

has been unusually extensive for a week past, espc
ciay in Cotton and Flour-thc sales of both having
exceeded those of any previous week this season.

bales, taken chiefly for the European Continent but
large portion, also, for England and the North. As

lions raised accordingly. The receipts at this port
since lst Sept, show Of no. 1852 bales
over those to the date last year. Prices have
ranged from TO T. cts. per ID. for ord to fair and
the stock on hand is 226,907 bales. 1obacco-Wc
