Money .Mnket-Consols closed to-day, in Lon
don, at 81 to for money and time. EXchequer
Bills, AS to AS. premium.
BdcOn-The arrivals again OF liberal cha
racter, and the market has, in consequence, been
dull and declining for ordinary Western and low
qualities, of which recent imports almost entirely
consist, while fine parcels held firmly at late
quotations. the opinion gaining ground that the I'M
ports of such for the season have ceased and the
sales reported of all known brands at previous
prces.-A considerable business has been done in
Hams at a decline of 2s to As per cwt., with fair
demand for Shoulders at Is to IS below last quota
tons.
Bart-(Q uercitron) -2O hhds. Philadelphia sold
at 9s. 3D., and 100 bags Baltimore at Is. Cd
Becf-Thc better qualities have continued to meet
good inquiry, at full prices.
| ChCeSG-1hc parcels Offering are generally in
ierior, fine meets steady inquiry.
Corn, Sc.-The business passing has been TO the
full ordinary extent in Wheat, at slightly improved
prices, and in Flour at last weeks quotations. with
an active demand for Indian Corn at an improN ed
! tendency, notwithstanding heavy arrivals. At our
market to-day Wheat and Flour were less active,
and sales of the latter progressed slowly, while In
dian Corn and Meal were i'll steady demand at full
prices. On the week, Wheat is Id to I'd. higher,
| Flour remains last reported, and Corn and Meal
are each Cd above last quotations.
| Cott0n-The import of the week is l25,129 bales;
sales 20 and present stock 7l5,65O bales, against
I75 100 at corresponding date last year The busi-
ness of the week has been impeded by the influence
exercised on manufacturers by the check given to
exports to the Continent political affairs there pre-
scning no more settled aspect. Holders of Amer
can Cotton continue to be very free sellers, and
the lower qualities partial decline OF "a. " ID has
hccn submitted to, while for the better last week
currency is freely obtained, with fair demand. To
day. the sales 5000 bales at the above decline
and the market is quiet. The latest intelligence
from India is of Il favorable character, hut the i'm
ports of this week, above noted, prevent any effect
upon prices resulting.

and sales to fair extent are reported at full prices,
closing firmly for fine qualities notwithstanding the
increasing supplies.
| Poyk-An active business has been passing in
Eastern Prime Mess, at full prices and but little of
that quality remains unsod. Of Westcrn, however,

increase of $50 900 bales. The demand has continued
steady and to a fair extent this week, but not equal
to the quantity offering, that the market has been
heavy with decided turn i'll favor of buyers, par
tcularly in the low and middling qualities, in which
a reduction of ID. ~ H. has been submitted to in
most of the business of the last few days; but for
fair qualities the former quotations of Add for Up
land and Mobile, and 4ad. for Orleans continu-
ed these and the good qualities being less plentiful
