NEW ORLEANS MARKETS,
CRESCENT OrFIcE,

saturday Morning, April "A, 1857 ]
We have had rather activity in our market this
last week and prices have been generally sustained
for leading staples Cotton has moved off freely and
has been but little affected by the unavoruble tenor of
the recent European accounts Sugar and Moases have
continued steady while marked advance has taken place
in several articles of Provisions Tobacco has been more
active but prices feebly sustained.
We had heavy rain storm carly in the week since
which the weather has been clear unseasonaby cold
C0TTON-At the close of last week we left the market
firm and active. notwithstanding the somewhat unayor-
able tenor of the Americas which had just come to
hand. On Saturday the inquiry continued good, with
sales Of some 5000 bales at steady prices On Monday and
Tuesday buyers forward with still spirit, and
took fully 1000 bales the two days at Improvement
of h(O14 of cent midlling and the qualities above
The recenton of the Arctic's advices on Wednesday
seemed to produce but little effect the sales reaching
bales at about previous rates for the lower grades
but at slight improvement for midling and upwards
On Thursday the Asias news published but exerted
very little influence on our market the sales reaching
1000 bales Yesterday the demand moderate result
ing in sales of 1000 bales, which makes total for the
week of 10000 bales taken for England and the Con-
tinent, with fair proportion for domestic ports
Prices closed quite firmly yesterday at the quota
tons The receipts this port since the September
261A bales against S92s4O to same date last
year and at all the United States ports there is
