.loncy.-The rates of discount are the same as
last week. Consols advanced from 923 up to go on
the 3lst ut., but the sudden resignation of the
French Ministry, has produced uuiavorable i'm
preston, and caused decline OF " cent. the latest
transactions being at 925
COttOn.-Dming the past week there has been less
excitement than have lately reported; SPECTATORS
have operated to fair extent, but trade account
only 1910 bales have been taken, which is mate
rial falling off, and has in some degree damped the
confidence of sellers, who have submitted to decline
of 3D. " ID. common sorts. On Saturday the 9th,
| 10000 bales changed hands at very firm rates;
Monday the steamers accounts were variously con-
strucd, and the amount of business done at
| somewhat irregular prices. Next day 5000 bales
were sold, and the same quantity on Wednesday,
upon rather easier terms, owing to the dull reports
| from Manchester. Yesterday only 5000 bales
| taken, decline of Id. sorts being gene
rally submitted to, at which there is rather do
ing this afternoon. Our total stock is only slightly
reduced, the imports include considerable arrivals
from India and the Bfazls. American, however, is
essened by IA, 500 bales and seems likely to steadily
decrease for the remainder Of the year.
| 1O5accO.-The demand has continued very brisk
since last, and the sales of the month, ascertaned
to have reached the large number of 1855 hhds
| firm the estimate then made. The import, also,
has been considerable, 5737 hhds., but the gradual
decrease of stock, and its probable further diminu
| ton, has given much confidence to holders, and
| drawn spectators into the market. The new i'm
port has been held at prices above what the trade can
at present afford to pay, and in consequence, the
chef run has been upon old Kentucky Stemncd
| which has advanced nearly Id. u ID Other dcsCr.p
tions have risen 3D. to I'd. Virginia Stemmed Is
scarce, and likely to be dearer whilst Leaf will MANI
tam its value.
Provisions. is dull, and rather lower rates
have been taken to close sales. The better qualities
! OF Pork continue much neglected, whist low
priced article meets with more attention. The sales
| of Bacon do not exceed 4UU boxes; but the demand
| is good, and prices firm want of assortment only
prccudes larger business Hams and Shoulders
not III much request. Cheese is iii good demand,
and most of the late arrivals are disposed OF; the
better qualities readily fetch extreme prices; whilst
ordinary parcels difficult to move, at the
very low rates demanded. OF Lard, at a trihing
concession, 100 tons have found buyers, and the
stock being within narrower compass, holders
! show tirmness.
Bread !StutS have generally declined since our
last; and for lower descriptions OF Flour especial
y, concession OF Is. to Is. 3D. has been made The
cheapness of transit at present, facilitating large
shipments from the States to pay at present low
quotations. has increased the desire OF holders to
realise, and the independent feeling of their Gus
toners. There is no change in Indian Corn, and but
| few transactions i'll Meal.

sells readily at extreme rates. Prices OF Coversced
tending upwards, and spectators still paying
attention to the article.

We have no material change in our cotton market
to advise since the departure OF the last steamer.

weather in the United States, and by a limited de-
mand from the trade, holders have manifested consi-
