COTTON-Bu siness has been almost wholly sus-
pended to- day. The advices received from Liver
pool and New York up to the close of the
market indicated steadily increasing weakness at
both OF be latter points. and the inquiry on the
part Of the few wouldbe buyers who appeared
upon the street was exclusively predicated upon
lower figures; factors, however, have manifested
no disposition to reduce prices, and the total sales
for the day have been restricted to SO bales. 10

remark that all desirable lists are still firmly held
at previous figures.

consignment of flour, made from this years wheat
al the celebrated mills of Messrs. Leonhardt
Schuricht, st. Louis. Missouri. We are yet unable
TO speak OF the brand referred to from personal
experience, but expect to be able to do so at an
early day. 1t will doubtless meet with ready sale
at satisfactory prices.
CoRN-A very fair days operation was effected
in corn this morning, upon the levee, considering
the uDiavorable weather which prevailed during

lilo sacks white corn at 81 ~ bushel.
