better.
We take the following from MesSrs. NELL Brothers
& Co.'S Cotton Circular for the Baltic:
The steamer Arabia arrived at Halifax last even
ing bringing very important news. The intelligence
has caused much satisfaction and some excitement
among holders of Cotton in this market, and they have
generally demanded an advance OF ic. q h. Prices,
However are already above the level Of those at Ly-
erIool and the advance actually paid does not exceed
Ic with sales of about ; 900 bales. Most persons feel
sceptcal of the result believing that Russian dplom
acy will find means during the progress OF the negoa-
tons to detach Austria from the seemingly more reso
lutte position she has assumed.

CO coo bales in the same ten days. The market had
buoyaut character with sales of $1,000 bales IN the
week and "a, 600 in the subsequent three days. a
SLIGHT advance was Quoted say TO SIC. 70: mildling
This is accounted for by the small receipts III conse'
oueuce of the almost impOssibty OF transporting Cot
ton mon the interior roads, where the clay repre-
septed az being up to the axetrees Of those wagons
whose owners are bold enough to attempt the work.
