New York dispatches of the 18th quote the Com
Berciurs money article as saying that the stock
market appears to be losing again into the cOndi-
ton Of dizziness and depression. The condition Of
affairs in Europe and on the Continent weighs
heavily on the market, but not in a way of pro-
ducing any definite apprehensions Of panic, but
from feeling of paniRky condition in countries
with which nearly our whole commerce is trans
acted, cannot fail to produce unsasiness and dis
turbance to large interests on this side"

on yesterday. About l5e bales changed hands.
Good cotton brought 2S92S1z. which is from y TO
cent higher than the quotations Of the day pre-

tive at 37@3S for middling. This improvement

The Louisville CoHrier's commercial article of
yesterday says:
The provision market though dull, was pretty
well sustained on yesterdays rates, though trans
actions were confined TO filing plantation orders
at former prices. Breadstuffs quiet and rather of
q dropping tendency. though good sound corn is
fully maintained at quotations.; a bid for 5000
sacks, 1000 bushels, prime white shelled was
made at 7212c, sacks included, to be delivered on
the river bank below the falls. The offer was re-
fused, the holder demanding 75c. Nothing else of
moment transpired, excepting that dealers in cot
ton yarns have slightly lowered their rates. offer
ing in lots at doz. for No 500, and the other
sizes at corresponding rates. Round lots of mess
pork were offered at slightly lower rates than yes
terday, and 200 bbls changed hands at $50 so, to
