Improvement was not supported and prices were
easier subsequently fair business has been pass

quiry. Wheat has been inactive, at decline Of Id.
upon last weeks quotations, and Flour has been a
dull sale AT abatement of I'd. to 6d-22s is. having
been accepted on Tuesday for few thousand barrels
OF Western Canal. At our market to-day the attcn
dance Of buyers has been fair and steady business

CoHon-The import of the week is ~ 500 balcs
sales - ESQ., and present stock $50 40O bales against
400 300 at corresponding date last year III the early
part Of the week the large demand for American
Cotton caused an advance OF ID. per lb; but the dis
position 10 effect sales on the part of many importers,
coupled with considerable cessation of demand,
suting mainly from the increasing difficulties in con-
tncnta politics, has rendered the market extremely
dull, and the advance has consequently not been
maintained. The business to-day is moderate, the
sales are 5000 bales, and Cotton is offered very
freely.
Ldrd-About 100 tons have sold at 33s to 3is for
good quality and fine continues to meet fair inquiry

The quotations for Cotton arc continued just we
gave them in our last Circular Of 4h inst. say 1Sd.
for fair Upland and fair Mobile 3D. for fair Orleans
4id. for middling Upland and Mobile 4dd.a4id. for
middling Orleans and 34d.a3ad. for the ordinary
qualities At the close of last week, and in the early
part Of this, the market firm and buoyant, giving
sellers some advantage, but the reverse has since
been the case, the quantity offering exceeding the
demand and the turn being decidedly in favor of buy
ers. The sales for the week ended to day, amount
TO 1850 bales (hc largest portion the first three
days of iD Of which 5000 is for export and 600
speculation, and the American descriptions consist Of
II 900 Upland at d., $3.50 Orleans at 3ha5ld
and Cd, 9 ,0G0 Alabama and Mobile at 3ia4& 3D., and
600 Sea Island at 7d.c ID. per ID. The winds hav
ing been unfavorablc for arrivals the import in the
same time is only $4,000 bales. The very unsats-
factory political state of the Continent has been more
scnsibly felt on the Manchester trade this week
than previously.
The Flour market, after some little amendment,
has become heavy again, and 22s. cd. per brl. has
been accepted for considerable parcels of West
ern Canal. Some small sales Of Baltimore have been
made at 23s., and Prime Ohio at 23s. cd.
Indian Corn was in improved demand, and at rath-
better prices early in the week, but that advance
is lost within the last two days, the present quota
tons being lsa32s. for White and 33s.a34s cd. per
quarter, for Yellow, with but a moderate demand.
In Iupentine only about 800 brls. have changed
hands this week at 6s for ordinary TO U.s. per cwt.
for good quality.
