CRESCENT OFFICE, no. 81 CANE sEgEET,

Wednesday Evening, June 6, 1855. ! .
CoTTON-The market opened inactive this moru-
ing, and sales were but little better than nominal
up to meridian; subsequently however, the press
dispatches were received and published in the
evening papers, with two days later intelligence ,
from Europe by the Africa, which may generally
be looked upon as Of more favorable character
than any of the recent previous receipts. Be
this as it may, however, our market has disclosed
a decided improvement, and sales of 1900 bales
were effected at decidedly irmer figures than
could have been obtained for several days past.
The market is still but very sparingIy supplied,
and the closing figures this evening ruled as fol.
lows, viz Ordinary .27G129, good ordinary 3003lc.
low middling 33035c. and middlfng 35@3sc. The
receipts thus far for the week exhibit no reduction
whatever, but the accounts of the growing crop
are of a character to falsify all estimates that
have heretofore gone abroad.

Stock band and Cd shpboard not cleared All
The exports include 1929 bales for Liverpool
and ia bales for New York;
ceipts from the coast since yesterday. The mar
ket is well supplied with Cuba and Porto Rico Su-
gar and Molasses, but Louisiana is scarce. There
is however, but very little demand for either, and
there is hardly business enough doing to establish
reliable quotations. Sales to-day comprise 25
hhds. of yellow clarified Louisiana Sugar at 153c ~
Ii. There is a small retail business doing at 12@
13c. for common to good common, 133@l43c. for
| fair to fully fair, 155c. for prime, and Ice, for
choice. Cuba Sugar at l23@l35c, for Nos. u and
| l3. A cargo of prime Cienfuegos Molasses was
offered at auction this morning, but the price bid did
not meet the views of holders, and the sale was
postponed.
FLoUR-The market for the past few days has
exhibited increased frmness and activity. The
receipts have been very light, and the supply on
hand was limited, while the stock held by dealers
has run so low that they were compelled to
purchase in order to meet their regular demand,
but the latter movement is of very restricted
character and sales to-day have been confined to
1900 bbIs., of which 100 choice extra at $l4 50,
100 double extra at $l4 90, 100 good extra at
$I2 co. 200 good at sll 90, 100 superine at 50 so,
100 do. at 50 so, 100 choice fine at IS 50 200 do
at IS Is, and 100 common at Sc 80 y Dbl.

limited, while the receipts have also been very
