A fair amount of business has been done in our
market during the past week, though in Cotton and
one or two other leading articles the demand has
been of a more moderate character than we had oc-
casion to notice in our last weekly report. Sugar
and Molasses have been firm, with tendency Of
prices in favor of the sellers. Flour has met with
very fair demand, at about previous rates; while
Corn has been active at slight decline. Provisions
of most kinds continue dull with dropping tendency
in prices In Tobacco, operations have been on
moderate scale. Freghts have been dull and the
rates have slightly declined Yesterday morning we
published the Canadas accounts, embracing Liverpool
dates to the 18th inst. They reported further
slight advance in Cotton with sales during the week
of about 81 900 bales including $500 on speculation
and $500 for export. Fair Orleans was quoted at
7-l6d, and Middling Orleans at l5-l6d, the market
closing active Advces from Manchester were favor
able. At Havre, Tres Ordinaire was quoted at SO
francs, with firm market.
CorToN. Holders have generally been claiming
full prices during the past week, and buyers have
come forward less freely in the absence of later adj
vices from Europe, which did not arrive until Thurs
day night. The sales of the week embrace some &c.
900 bales of which 5000 were on Saturday 10000 on
Monday, $500 on Tuesday, $500 on Wednesday, $500
on Thursday, and 900 yesterday the market clos

So far as the general Money and Paper market
went to-day, we may say it was quiet, exceedingly
quiet The offerings in bank all round were dimnu-
tive On the street there were some few transactions,
but nothing Of note Or to change the last quotations,
and we have only to say, all wanting money and
have anything of respectable standing to raise it
on, can be accommodated at from s, a 10 get, on
tangible securities maturing within IL months.
The Exchange market opened $780, The counter
rate for checks was dis on NewYork, though there
were sellers at dis, yet was refused by double AL
drawers. Then, again, there were sales at a 9-l6
dis but the counter rate with majority Of the banks
settled down to dis. We also are aware that Get
was refused. In time bills there were very few
transactions Such as reached sales were for sixty
days sight at L., IL q yet. dis. In Foreign bills
there was very little disposition to move, yet some
dealers in Sterling have great faith in peaceable re-
suit of the European difficulties We have not SO
much confidence in the present ruler Of France that
many people have. If he is, however, destined to
keep the world in state Of excitement and agita-
ton, the sooner he is out of the way the better.
Sterling Exchange held on very well to-day. We
note sales of bills with shipping documents at 1072-
extreme rates ranging from lo7a q l0s. Clear bills
decned-good sold at 1851 In this respect, when
saying good, we mean selected names. We have to
quote extreme from 1854 q 1889. Some ninety days

francs-they are stiening, and held at from 5.ls2 q
