CoTToS-The movement in the leading staple
has disclosed fair inquiry TO day, and despite
the continued unfavorable advices from Liverpool
full average business might have been trans
acted, had not most factors withheld their sup
Plies or very materially enhanced their asking
rates. As 1t was however the total sale.

SUGAR AND MoLAssEs-Business continues to be
restricted to small retail trade without any ma
teIial Improvement on that of yesterday, unless
from the fact that better inquiry for lower
grades OF Sugar has prevailed during to-day
BOyers have held aloof from purchasing for some
time past, in expectation of concessions from 6g
nfes that have ruled the markets; bat holders re-
main firm 10 their demands, as they seem to feel
secure in the anticipation of speedy resumption
OF something ike activity in their line of trade
which has remained so long lethargc. We con.
tinue to quote Louisiana sugar. fair to prime at

ana Moasses at S5c., and Cuba do. at 45@53c.

FLoUR-The transactions in the -four market TO-
day have been confined to small jobbing lots; but
sales in The aggregate are in excess Of those OF
any previous day during the week. as most of the
safes we're for the retail trade and the bakers of

fall short of 1000 barrels, which comprise but
limited quantity. when the sales OF the last few
days ana our local wants-which always accumu.
laie upon the first Of the month-are taken into
consideration Those whom the st. Louis dis.
patch of yesterday does not seem to effect have
not, evidently, increased their rates, while dealers
who hold bour subject TO the control of the St.
Louis miliers, whose names we're appended TO the
above dispatch, are firm with increased figures;
still the business TO day has been of so small a ns-
ture IN its details, that it is hardly worth while fur
nishing figures Of sales. Some 1900 barrels en-
braciug every grade of -four. were sod IN small
retail lots; so bills. superfne at 81; so bbls.

fair inquiry for choice qualities. Sales embrace
1850 sacks, az figures indicating but little change
from those Of yesterday, viz: 1850 sacks yellow

Coon MovE--We are pleased TO observe, as
will &c noticed upon pernsing the card beloF,
that the prominent and leading weghers and
brokers of our city have unanimously resolved
that, from the fourth Of the present month until
the fifteenth OF September next. their business
transactions, upon the levee, will close every day
at O'Clock P. NJ.
We deem this step a wise and commendab,e
one, as bust ees during the summer month is
contracted 10 such an extent, that factors aud
Oesiers can always accomplish the rOGnds Of the
market curing business hours; aud seldom is there
any necessity for parties purchasing or ordering
P,Iouee OF any kind from the leyee after three
among All mercantile pursuits followed by our
ciuzens; mere IS none prosecuted with more dill
gence, labor exposure and fatigue than that Of
pioEers ana welghers. They comprise some of
our Oldest and best citizens, and We are happv az
any time to announce aught calculated to alieyi-
ste 10 suy manner their srduous VOCATION.
