Remarks-Thcrc is no very material change 10
notice in regard to the business of the past week,
though there has been rather less activity i'll the gen
cral market than during the previous one The re-
ceiptS of Cotton have been rapidly decreasing Tor
three four weeks past and the sales since our last
have not been heavy as was anticipated alter the
receipt of the Americas advices. The exports have
been large, and the stock is the decrease. The
weather has been very warm and dry until Saturday,
when we were favored with refreshing shower,
which was repeated on Sunday, accompanied by
considerable quantity OF hall-a very unusual occur
in this locality, even in mid winter The rlv-
reported rising.-Jor. Of Com.
C0tton-The sales Of the week add up 5000 bales,
principally for the English market, little for the
French and other continental ports, and there has
been doing for the Northern markets than Tor
some weeks past. Prices have ranged from Dat
cts for ord. to for fair. Stock on hand l4l,Sl6
bales. Freshts-Thc transactions the past week
have been light, owing, partially TO the great search
ty of vessels. The foreign engagements are, ship
for Trieste at lSc., and American ship taken up
yesterday for Liverpool at 3D., which is an advance.
British ships on the berth for Liverpool obtain 9l6d
Coaswsc bark has been taken up for Boston at &C.;
a brig and schooner for Providence, two briggs for
New York, and schooner for Philadelphia, all ut
&C. The vessels in port dsengaged are, two Amer
lean ships and two barks Late last evening bark
was taken up for New York at &c. Erchange-A
pretty fair business has been done the past week in
this department, but at very irregular rates The
market closes very unsettled and negotiations are
difficult.
New ORLEANs-3 days preceding March II.
Remdrks-Thc transactions in the general market
have been a moderate scale during the past few
days. but prices have not been subjected TO any very
important changes though it will be that Cotton
has hardly maintained the full rates claimed by hold
ers. The receipts of Western Produce are light,
and consist mostly Of Provisions the greater portion
for shipment to the North. The weather was cx-
trcmcly warm up to the night of Thursday, when
heavy fall rain produced rather cooler tempcra-
