STOCK OF COTroN-At the end Of March we
counted Cotton very o1reaatg, taking in every
shed. the bluff. and house storage. The latter
sad changed since the nre at FowIkes, on JEFF
feEson street. Last month We estimated Cotton

3,cg7 baIes ; on blunr. 100 bales in private store.

Book t~rade-sales yesterday and to-day were
vel attended, and large invoices have been
sold al good prices. There is an evident de-
termination on the part Of trade to expect q
fall y prices. Hence they act as II they would
avert any day. We have the best reasons, 3
however, for believing that no such eXpecta-
are we'll founded, The prices Of material
and labor have not di=ssni-Fed sufficiently 70
warrant any ones Indulgence in the antioipa-
ton OF cheap DOoks. The imp0rtation Of GER
tain qualities Of paper has somewhat affected
the price Of native paper, but the difference Is
so sp@l :. wDuld be unsafe TO predict any gen.
eiaI reduction from present prices. There is
not the remotest prospect Of tie price Of labor
diminishing the tendency is upward, not
downward.

In tie department OF woolens trade Is gener-
ally dull, and he decline In fancy cssineres

meres, however, ore in fair demand. In foreign
goods delatnes and fancy silks arel0wer. Con-
English and German goods are still sell
lng, and there have been some psYcais OF mo-
hairs and lustres sent back 10 England. the
price there being higher than here. Fine
dress goods, particularly French, OF seasonable
ana desirable styles, however, command good
prices.
Dry goods advancing. Domestic goods have
checked trade, and to-day has been a duh one ]
with jobbers OF this city. There Is oniy one on
two ways for the market now, either to steady 4
81 fair prices, or let il 60 lower. The latter Is I
probably what Il viii DO, unless Confidence can I
be restored. Auctions are keeping trade con-
siderably unsettled, and one house here hss
been steadily since yesterday morning. and
other houses have commenced 10 sell this morn- I
ing. and viii continue until tomorrow utaht. Z
Under such circumstances the market cannot
be reliable OF steady. BreWn Sheetng-Amos o.
