Columbia Market.

36onCAnt
Cotton.-When we closed our previous weekly re-
port of the cotton market it will no doubt be recol
lected that the demand for the article was quiet but
steady, at prices ranging from 1900 extremes
In the early part Of the week under review, and
up to Thursday evening, there was no material
change either in the demand in the ruling rates.
viz: 1900. On Friday, at eleven o'clock, the news
from Europe by the Arabia was received, reporting
the news to be authentic that the Car had uncon-
dtionally accepted the proposals of the allies for
peace, and also reporting as o consequence an adj
vance in cotton of Todd with sales for the week of
SO, 600 bales, Of which spectators took 5000 and
exporters 5000 bales leaving A 900 of all descrip-
tions to the trade, and also leaving stock on hand
Of $40, 900 bales, Of which 1000 are American.
These accounts when they received gave fresh
impulse to our market, and prices run up 9GG4 on
former quotations In the latter part of the day,
however, and also during Saturday, the market was
less excited, and the latter day it settled down at
about former quotations. The sales of the week
foot up some 975 bales, and we now quote: Inferor
S@sA; ordinary 84@8s; middling 8!@ss; good
midding s2@ss; fair &c; and choice shade high
er.
Bacon.-The market is dull and dropping, and
consequently prices are looking down. We now
quote 11t@12 for hog round; sides 1l9@l2; and
hams 12@13, according to quality.
Corn.-We have no material change to notice in
the price of this article and we therefore continue
to quote s0@85c p bushel.
Peas.-In the price of peas there has been no
quotable change, and consequently we continue to
quote 75@s0c y bushel.
Oats.-There is fair demand for oats at our for
mer quotations of 60@622c p bushel.
Flour.-The -four market has been quiet but steady
throughout the whole of the week. and We therefore
continue to quote S8{@S83 for common to good
brands; fine family -four So p Dbl.
FOdder.-We have no quotabe change in the fod-
der market and we therefore continue our former
quotations Of Sl3@$ls p 100 TBS.
