The transactons in cotton, yesterday, were
not heavy. Considerable quantities were
offered in The market, but there Is no great
inclination on the part Of dealers to buy.
The price ranged from IS to 46e, but was
extremely Eetk-the state Of the Liverpool
market, IS per the last arrivals, having eX-
perieneed decline, which affects the price

Il snyder received ISL, aud shipped 81 and
Griffith Parsons received 81, and shipped
50. The whole amount received in the city
vas not more than 600 bales. It is highly
probable that prices viii still farther de-
cline, uni IS there is material improve
ment in the European market on.
The receipts during the last week were
chiefly BY wagon, and by the Tennessee and
Alabama Railroad, and were al OF this sea
sons crop.
There are practically no receipts Of wheat
but o d red viii very readily commands 90
ald white for seed, from So to s. 90 These
quotations, however, were merely nominai'
as there is no wheat in the market.
Flour is steady at 50 50 for superfne, and
from SII to sI3 for choice family, and there
is a prospect that present prices viii be
maintained, till the river rises sufficiently !
to admit the passage Of boats over HarPeth
Shoals. Il ia not believed that prices VIII
be any higher, however; and when nayigs-
tion opens, they must decline, at least 10
the extent of the difference between river
and railroad freight.
Clear sides are readily sod at 2ejz and
27c., and the supply is only moderate
Shoulders are worth 23c sugar cared hams
35c., and country 26c., and there Is no pros

and then II is somewhat prOblematieal,

are hogs enough in the country 10 some

The stock Of mess pork is entirely exhsus-
ted, the last barrel the market having :
been disposed Of on Friday. 1he pork psek
ing season in this locality will be inaugura-
ted curing next week by Messrs. Owziey
20. and some other firms. The hrm
referred 10 made some purchases some
time since Of hogs at SSa9 gross, but feeders !
are now holding at $40 gross; packers, how t
ever, decline paying these figures, preiern g 8

now is that the packing busine viii not be '

There has been considerable activity in
country produce during the week, with lib
sral receipts of apples, potatoes aud onioGs
Prices have been well sustained. Apples
range from s. 50 to IS from common 10 .
