MEMPHIS MARKET.

SATURDAY MORNING, May IT.
 Authenticated despatches from St. Louis and Louisville, reporting an effectual blockade upon further shipments of provisions to points south of Cairo, were received last evening, but failed to create any excitement of conse- quence in the market. The fact that our city at present contains ample stocks of Provis- ions for the ordinary demands of trade from this time until the receipt of the new crop, tend to prevent any marked advance in prices. when at the same time, consumers are assur- ed that no apprehensions will be entertained as to supplies, becoming exhausted prior to that date.
 CorToN.--With bad weather and limited demand. yesterdays sales were confined to 126bales, at a basis of 1Oac for middling.- Quotations are entirely nominal, and we omit them for the present. s9 ssfJli I
