CRESCENT
.-"' Saturday Morning, Dec TO- 1859
A very fair demand has prevailed in our general
market during the past week, and prices have ad-
vanced for several leading articles, including
Sugar, M0lasses Flour, Corn and Pork. In Cotton,
| operations were somewhat interrupted in the early
part of the week by unfavorable weather. but
fair amount of business has since been done. To-
bacco continues dull and unsettled. In Freights
we have noticed an improvement in the rates, with
an active market.
On Thursday morning we published the Edn-
burghs accounts embracing Liverpool dates to
the Oath ut. They reported an inactive and feeble
Cotton market, with sales of about q 900 bales
during the four business days. closing dull, with
partial decline of Id. and a continued dropping
| tendency. The advces from Manchester were
favorable the rates having an upward tendency,
though the market closed quiet The Persia's ad-
vices, which arrived yesterday, at about noon will
be found in another column.
CoTToN.. Our last weekly report closed upon
an active Cotton market, the business of the week
having been the largest record in this city. On
Saturday and Monday the weather was unfavorable
and with poor assortment offering, only about
IL 900 bales changed hands during the two days.
On Tuesday, however, buyers came forward freely,
and took $500 bales and on Wednesday about
II 900 bales sold, prices during the four days
being easy for buyers, but still within the range of
previous figures. On Thursday there was good
demand again, and $4,000 bales changed hands,
and yesterday about $500 bales were taken, max
ing the entire business of the week 70 600 bales the
market closing at the range of the following quo
