Market.

The holding Of the greater amount Of cotton
now in stock from the market has of course
prevented the general market from being as
/ active as il otherwise would have been, by de-
/ laying the time at which owners would have
laid in supplies; but fine weather and good
roads have TO some extent counteracted unfa-
| vorable influences, and our stOrekeepers have
nothing to complain of. There is little change
calling for remark. Provisions have been
irregular and are something lower Hay has

come very large and prices have gone down
