COTToN-Advices of a very cheering character
from Liverpool and New York were at hand early
to-day, and as the subsequent intelligence from
both points did not in any way affect the former
holders in this market have been conside ably
olated throughout. But few new lists have been
brought forward, however, and as the offering
supply was OF a very limited character from the
opening to the close of business, operations, de.
spite somewhat general demand, have been re-
stTicted to 1850 bales. At the same time prices
have been exceedingly irregular, and while we
have TO report an advance Of fully lc. u b. In
good ordinary, and &c. u b. in low middling, the
rates paid for middling Cotton disclose no i'm
prOvemeDt whatever. The movement for the day
has been participated in by seven buyers-two of
whom took 500 bales each-and the market closed
steady at 25@-c. for good ordinary 261-c. for
low middling, and 270-c. for middling.

SUGAR AND MOLAssEs-Inactivity has been the
most noticeable feature Of the movement under
the above heading to-day. We have not been ad.
Vsed Of transaction beyond driblets in any
grade OF Sugar, and operations in Molasses were
confined TO So bbls. Louisiana at price that has
been Withheld. In the present condition of the
market we only refer to the following as approx
mating figures viz l4l@l5ic. u h. for fully fair

@525o. u gallon.
FLOUE-With fair supply on hand we might
reasonably look for much larger business than
is now being reported, but buyers are holding
back with the hope Of reduction IN prices while
sellers appear to entertain decidedly goppo,ite
views as regards the future. The following are
n only VnuN aola 81 III

bills, OF which so superine at s. q, 100 and so

qury. all offerings Of Corn are very much neg.
lected. Prices indicate but little If any altera

FREIGHTs-As the season advances the shipping
movement dscloses a very heavy and steady fali.
ing on. The tonnage in port on foreign and do.
nestle account is reduced to the summer standard
while the demands for freight room indicate cor,
responding or perhaps greater abatement. There |
is no steamship for Liverpool in dock at this time
and therefore II would be useless to ATTEMPT 10 |
furnish reliable rates in this connection. O1ota. |
