CoHoa.-.As it regards the position of the cot
ton market during the week just brought to Il
close, we have but few remarks to make. The
demand from the commencement of the week up
to Friday evening, was quiet but steady, at r
prices, except in some instances, and especially on
the low and middling qualities, and for these
grades prices did in some of the transactions turn
a fraction in favor of buyers. On Saturday morn
ing, the news from Liverpool by the Niagara, to
the 18th inst, came to hand, reporting sales for
the previous week of only 81 900 bales, including
5000 to spectators and exporters, at a decline Of
81 3d.. in consequence Of the heavy imports
from this side of the y alter, and leaving a stock on
hand of 212, 900 bales, of which Ito, 900 are A
Notwithstanding an increase of stock Of Ameri-
can of something over 100, 600 bales, as compared
with the previous advices. These accounts, it is
feared, will have on unfavorable effect on the
markets OF this country; but with US, Saturday
is always a quiet day, and generally but little cot
ton Offering, and therefore we are unable to say
to what extent our market Willie effected by them.
The sales of the week comprise about 800 bales,
and we now quote: Inferior . a. 81 ordinary 81
a. o.; middling 10 a. l0i, good middling II g.
III; and fair III a. III cents.
Country Bacon.-We have no change to notice
in the bacon market. The stock is fair and the
demand quiet. We still quote II a. 12c.. for hog
round. Lard II a. l2c., according to quality. ,
Corn.-There is q fair stock Of corn on the mar
ket, and as the demand is moderate, prices are
steady, at 6S a. re, according to quality and
quantity.
Oats.-There being no inquiry for oats, it is i'm
possible for US to say what they are worth, and
therefore we omit quotations altogether.
Cow Peos.-This article continues very scarce,
and therefore they freely command 90c. a. 81 e
bushel.
Hom.-There is a full stock of flour on the
market, and as the demand is moderate, there is
no material change in prices, aud consequently
We still quote S4IMS5I for common to suprefne
brand; extra family -four S5l@S53 = barrel.
Street PotatoGs.-There is a great scarcity Of
this very necessary article at present, aud they
freely command from Sl.25GSl.3S q bushel.

some time in examining them all, and now give
our opinion to our readers for their benefit.
We purchased one of the above named Machines.
and have tried it on every kind of work required
in a family, and it gives the best satisfaction; do
ing its work very rapidly, neatly and stronger than
the usual hand work. 1t is much harder to rip
work done OIL this Machine than that done in the
ordinary way. 1t is neat and tasty, being very
hlcely nnlshed, anc 10 all appearance, s'inpie' DC

ordinary use. 1t is very strong and durable, and
We are we'll assured one of them will not, wear out
in years Of constant use. 1t has already saved
tailora' and dressmakers' bills enough in our fami-
ly to pay its cost, and We think it a very profitable
investment, to say nothing Of its convenience and
the hours of needle work it saves n mother. We
most emphatically pronounce this the best Sew.
