ing almost entirely ceased Good Hams are want
ed, and would command extreme quotations.; poor

any change in the demand, which is fair, and gradu-

err, which at this exercises great influence,
our market has been somewhat excited; and in
creased Irish demand for Indian Corn, causes this
article more particularly to feel the improvement.
The general reports upon the crops throughout the
country are favourable and markets elsewhere rule
low. With us to-day there was good attendance
of buyers, and decidedly better feeling was evil

there has been rather more inquiry from exporters
but not as vet to an extent to affect prices which
remain steady.-Your last adyices have caused an
extensive speculative demand for Cotton, which has
again advanced about id. 81 ID. Harvest operations
are being rapidly proceeded with, and some new
Wheat has already appeared at market; the trade
has been inactive throughout the week. In last few
days decidedly increased demand for Money, with
out, however, any material change in the rate OF
discount.
I'ea.-The public sales, commencing 18th inst
went off fatty, only 5000 pkgs. finding buyers Of
1,400 offered; prices, however, fully sustained by

COtt0n.-We have again to raise quotations OF
Cotton Fair Uplands are now placed by the Com
mittee of Brokers at SD, Mobile sgd, and Orleans
SD, being an advance of 3D. on the same qualities
since last Friday. Every other description may be
considered to have been raised i'll the same proper
tion. There is nothing of character as bear
ing upon the value of the staple to have brought
about this increased and continued action, and
higher scale of prices. Our present proceedings
carving out of the previous statements as to the
comparative extent of the supply and consumption.
Advices from IT, s. continue to represent the grow
| ing crop, upon which much depends, as preca-
rolsy situated seeing that it will certainly be late.
