Our last circular under date Of 23d ut. For
some days subsequently the demand for cotton was
good the highest rates previously current, being
shade above last quotations.; hut we have since
! had reaction and decline Of ID per h., with a
dull langud market for week past. This change
and depression is attributed partly 10 less favorable
accounts from the eastern markets, arising from the
unsatisfactory and protractcd in lndia and part
" TO the latter accounts Of the continued heavy re-
ccipts of cotton into the American ports, instead Of
material falling off i'll this supply, seems TO have

Lirerpool Corn Market, March l0.-Thc reports
received this morning from the markets held in Lon
don and Wakefield yesterday, tend 10 keep the trade
