week, the sales reaching to full average in guam
tity, but we do not alter our quotations, and low
qualities continue to be almost exclusively wanted

been steady, Wheat and Flour being in good de-
mdnd at full prices, and good qualities somewhat
advanced Indian Corn is firmly held, and IN some

1870; and present stock, 100000 bales, against

Cotton.-The Niagara" sailed at IL! A. NJ. on
the 9th inst. The business on that day wore more
| active appearance than had been the for six
| weeks previously, and 10000 bales sold at
firm rates. Next day, the steamer arrived, and her
intelligence Of the Crop, produced great excitement
| on Monday, and sales made to the almost un-
precedentcd extent OF $4,000 bales, Id u h. ad-
vance; of which, 10000 were on Speculation, and
/ Is 900 ON Trade Account. Tuesday was kept 4
close holiday in this town, but good business hav-
| ing been done ia Manchester, renewed activity was
the consequence here next morning, and 3u,UOJ bales
| changed hands, at further Improvement OF nearly
ID; of which, third were taken by spectators;
and two-thirlS by the trade, proportion that may
be noticed in the sales OF the last two days, amount
ing each to 10000, with prices FIRM at the late adj
vance Yesterday, the chief run was upon Brazil
Cotton of which the trade have taken 10000. and
spectators upwards of 5000 bales during the week
East India, also, has been in great request. Our
stock is reduced by nearly As 0OO and is now about
10000 bales below the corresponding period of last
year, which is scanty supply, unless short time is
! generally adopted by the trade.
BreadStut$.-W have little alteration to report,
except that our market is degree tirmer, and In
dian Corn quoted Is higher, in consequence of a
slight speculative demand. Homegrown Wheat
comes forward freely, and is taken up by Dealers
with less hesitaton they do not appear to appre-
bend lower prices.
| Enthusiastically speculation in the Cotton
! Market has checked business during the past week,
as manufacturers are obliged to ask higher prices,
say about 3D. u piece of 40 yards, advance which
! buyers are not prepared to give. The only alter
native therefore, is for producers to work short time,
and by this system, which is becoming more general,
to lessen their production. There was more doing
! in Yarns at the beginning Of the week.
Yours respectfully,
| GIBBS, BRIGHT s co.

| Market opens very steadily, without however the
appearances of the same extensive business which
has been doing of late.
