COMMERCIAL.

TUESDAY EVENING. April 2s 1853.
CoTroN-The unexpected intelligence of
depression and dullness in Liverpool with
decline of id and corresponding accounts
from New York have completely unsettled
our market. TO-day's sales in Liverpool
were 1000 bales at l25@l3k for upland Or
leans middling. In New York the decline is
&c. Sales here to-day are barely 800 bales
in small lots at easier and irregular prices
affording no basis for market
Yesterdays business reached $500 bales at
302@3lc for good ordinary; 3I3@32c for low
middling; aud 324D33c for middling. These
quotations are merely nominal and we re-
peat them for reference merely.
