Southern money Is eull. and BY reference to
Mr. MARES advertised list. it Will be seen there

been received yesterday Of decline Of Sc in the
dollar in that city.
CoTToN-But little cotton was offered on yester-
day-consequently sales were light. Good cotton

vince in the Liverpool market Of ID, which will
have the effect of stifening the market and adj
vancing the prices. We heard Of no sales after
reception Of the steamers news. .
GROeERIEs.-Ye sterday the market in groceries
was quite active, aftera week Ofextreme dizziness.

ries must also be affected thereby. and they have
held up. waiting better figures TO purchasers.

yesterday says:
The attendance at the Merchasss' Exchange was
unusually full, and more animation and buoyan-
cy was manifested by provision dealers than had
been observable for some time. The tenor of the
dispatches. in addition 70 the hardening OF cur
rency, was favorable TO dealers. In -four and pro-
duee, however there was but little animation,
and in most other articles there was but little do
ing. The sales reported included round lot of
mess pork at $2i IS, though holders at the close
