the scence of an extensive condagration,
and occurring as it did on the morning Of
the Firomen's anniversary, when all their
engines were FURNISHED and decorated for
the celebration, it was allowed TO make great
head way before an adequate supply of wa

the warehouse of Evans hat store, and

The markets, especially the Gotten mar.
kets, continue depressed. Although a great
number of bales are sold, and a rood deal
of activity showed upon the levee by the
shippers, still the sales are made at low
prices and only because factors have Weld
ed to the pressure from without, has it been
possible TO effect tie sales. The reasons

ton has been the Unprecedented amount of
f cotton now on hand aG-this season Of tie
i year. In l8l91lhe qlronnt received to the
4th of March, wasa726, 9O4 bales; amount
shipped to ~salnesdate was 636, 968 bales,
leaving 2j5, 336Ron hand amount received
to same date1S50 was 63S, 055 bales, ship
ped 4l2, 500, leaving 225,475 bales. But on
the 18th of March 1851, we have receipts Of
? 1881 bales, shipped 461 ,61S, leaving on
hand 2ST,S65 bales. This stock on hand,
and only onf Customer in the market, has
f caused she decline, 1t is hoped that it will
only be a Temporary decline; but unless the
Northern factories which stopped on ae-
count of the high price of cotton last year,
will soon resume and thus bring a competi-
tor into the field, tne English purchasers
will rmonopollze the benefits of the reduced
. prices, andhays e controlling power i'll keep
