For the Week ending last creniRg.

what the effects upon our market of the steam
er Cambrla's adviccs of the I'd, from Liverpool
those of the America, of the 9th inst were upon us
the mail of the latter having to hand ycstcrda,
morning, the steamer reaching Boston on Wcdncs
day. From the letter. of the evening of the Sth, o
correspondents, Messrs. Stitt, DAY s Co., w,
extract copiouslv, as follows
Bdc0R.-Wth liberal supplies of low qualities
rather lower rates, by IS to- S. have been accepted
and fair amount of business has been passing fine
qualities continuing to command most attention.
Hams sell at wide range, according to cut cure
and condition. dos having been realised for small
parcel of fine. Shoulders are in moderate demand
but coarse meat sells slowly.
BHtter.-Clean Irish Grease has sold at 40s.; and
at about 3Os there is an enquiry for American
Corn, Stc.--'rhs week has been without any
marked change in the Corn market, and our quota
lions remain without alteration, the business being
TO fair ordinary extent, and further decline in prices
checked by country millers and dealers purchasing
Wheat and Flour with rather confidence. In
dian Corn has been in less active demand for Ireland
but in the absence of any large supplies prices hav
been supported. The weather continues to be most
favorable for own harvest prospects, and rumors
of temperance of the potatoe disease do not come
confirmed. At Corn Exchange to-day a very
limited amount of business passing in all arti-
cles. Wheat could be bought at decline of ID. and
but the finest qualities of Flour met any enqui-
~, with very few transactions. Indian Corn was
held at previous prices, at which it met a limited
sale. Corn Meal continues in short supply, and sells,
to moderate extent, at tull prices.
COttOn.-The import of the week is % ,401 bales
sales II S20 and present stock 66S 900 bales against
510,95O at corresponding date last year Under the
influence of favorable advices from India assisted by
the intelligence per Hbcrnia, relative to the pros
poets of the growing crop in the States, this week
has been the most active witnessed in our market
since February; and the sales of Wednesday amount
ed to 10000 bales, at an advance of Id. ~ Id. on
common qualities. This improved feeling has been
well maintained, and the sales to-day $1,000
bales at the highest rates of the week, one half
being speculation. The better qualities of Cot
ton in fair demand but do not command any ma
terial advance
Lard.-Sales to the extent of about so tons are
reported at steady prices and holders are firm; but
no advance can be anticipated while Butter Tai
low, and Palm Oil continue to rule low
Money .0iarket.-Consols closed TODAY, in Lon
don, at 9ls for money and time. Exchequer Bills

off at S456! subsequently, say Tuesday and Wed
nesday, the market became more heavy, and it was
only for favorite brands of fresh inspected that
S4.624 could be obtained; and as the steamer Amer-
cas- Geographic circulated soon after noon
of the latter day, and considered rather unfavorable
