setting in of Spring activity early 10 the ensuing
month Meanwhile the Cotton market has taken
. decided downward turn. The foreign demand
has fallen off for the raw material and with heavy
accumulation OF Stock in the Southern ports, ea-
pecially in New Orleans prices have given way
and are falling by their own unchecked gravity
This altered state Of things affects the market Tor
Cotton Goods; still greater reluctance is felt 70
buy with a growing desire TO sell, though the 40
sence Of large stocks prevents much abatement IN
Drice The result is less firmness and the loss OF
that tendency to advance which previously cnaf-
aoterized the market Beached Sheetngs and
sbirtings are In moderate request al previous
prices. The stock is considerable and no large
parcels could be separately placed without con-
cession in price Unbleached Sheetings and
shirtings are in less demand and the market nrm
for purchasers. The transsctions are none OF them
large. but are made up of small parcels at Ola
nr;ces The coarser qualities sell more freely

ply Printing Cloths are inactive; holders are
apparently firm, yet the market favors buyers, as

from buying. Flannels are quiet bat firm. There
is more doing in Jeans and prices are firm
Tweeds of good grade are steady in price and
moderately active while the lower grades are
dull and heavy. British Goods are active for
nearly all descriptions and prices well supported
More inquiry prevails for Prints, and Printed Linen

sold at auction were stale goods. Holders are firm
in prices, and there is no pressure on the market
French goods are inactive. Silks are in very
moderate demand, but the stock to select from is
very light The late arrivals were sold previous
