VIEW 0 r r MARKET.
Under date the goth April, we have the
following report:
"The market for domestic dry goods in
this city closes weak and unsettled, with q
tendency towards lower prices. Owing to
the extremely limited demand, stocks OF
goods have accumulated to such al extent
that many holders are anxious to realize
whatever they a n The few transactions
reported are solely to supply immediate
wants for consumption.
"Foreign dry goods continue without
change-heavy and pressed for sale
through the auction rooms. Excepting for
leading styles of dress fabrics, the prices
realized at the auction rooms are far from
satisfactory to importers"
SOUTHERN COTTON MARKETS.
The foreign intelligence lately received
had depressed the New Orleans market.

good ordinary at 31c., and low middling at
33c. The market unsettled, and general

dition of market.
CHARLESTON, April 30.-On Saturday
last the market was depressed and tending
downwards, with sales of about 20 bales
on a basis of CSC. for middling cotton. The
market continues too unsettled for quota
tons.
AUGUSTA, April 2S.-The late advices
from Liverpool of a decline of from Id. to
gid. in cotton has caused Il corresponding
decline in the home market. We heard OF
one sale this morning, of 40 bales of good
middling, at 20c., the seller paying the tax,
making it 1sc. per pound. The market is
very unsettled, and we do not think the
sale here reported is a fair criterion. 1t
is, however, the only sale heard of to-day.
