WEEKLY wcoL RB3oRr.-A lack Of tone In the
market, which was Indicated by the public sale
alluded to in our last has been more manifest this
tinues unsatisfactory to the manufacturer, who
finds himself disappointed with the spring busi-
ness, and unable to sell his goods freely, except
ing at q material reduction from cost OF produce
ton. Money has also been more stringent, and
higher rates are asked for dscounting commission
merchants' scceptances. Yet no material de-
cline can be quoteN in the staple, though some
concession is obtssable for cash. All descrp-'
tions are In light Stock and the seaboard markets
mopopolize what there 10. Holders appreciate
the necessity Of manufacturers keeping their
machinery running, and feel sure Of the ground
they take, that what they have will be wanted
before tho new CLIP comes to hand. Many were
anticipating considerable supplies from the Cape,
but this does not nov seem so probable; and the
stock of this description and OF Mestiza Is not
large enough to afiect their general position.
We estimate the sales Of fleece this week at
$50, 600 lbs. ANON them are $4,000 lbs. choice
Xxx Ohio at &c., AID Of good at 55c.; of extra at
52a53c., and Of ezra Michigan at 474@4sc.; of
good unwashed ct f3tc.
In Canada fleece we hear of nothing, but hold
ers Of what little titsre is are disposed to make
some concessions 10 price.
Pulled woods hav4 been fairly active. Good ex-
tras are not plenty and are 10 some speculative
demand. Supers ere wanted. and now in small
stock. City No. / sold at 45c., and 200 bags
combing on privats terms.
We note sale Of about 1000 ibs Texas from
dealers hands ct sec. This about exhsusts the
stock. One parcel Of good spring California Is on
the market ct 37ac Fall Is heavy, with large sup
plies. Retail sales are reported at 27t029c.
Mexican is neglected and can be bought shade
easier, say 23@s4c, for the best
Cape IL held above buyers views, and only
small sales are reported at about 400. The stock
here and 10 Boston is quite light.
Mestiza is rather pressed for sale, but nothing
We note a sale Of 20 900 MS. unwsshed Smyrna

inquiry now for lev foreign clothing woods. A

| We copy the following from Thurmond &
| Bowies' Shreveport circular Of March 10th:
We closed our Fast report with an abiding faith
Of an Improvement for the next week. That
abiding faith fcuEd resting place only in antici-
patton and not insreslity. Again we have to carry
il over. The present has been IN possible less AMI
mated than its Predecessor; The cotton received
| light ard confined almost exclusively to factors
tables. The dispo sition on the part OF buyers to
| take hold wds lighter. The cotton market mani
tested SO little animation that 1t Influenced and re-
| tsrded the movements from the interior. Wagon
ers and outside sellers thought II more profitable
to remain at home preparing for another crop than
to dispose Of the old one. Cotton and gold both
tending downward chilled the confidence Of the
| most saDguine aud but few now look for reac-
ton worthy Of consideration or upon what to base
| q healthy transaction for while. The receipts
Enthusiastically falling of In all the great cotton
| emporums on this continent. We have touched
| about 10000 bales. double the quantity received
during the last commercial year. We still antici.
pate 10000 before the first Of September next.
Western produce and provisions move slowly.
Some orders from the interior in q small way keep
things moving, but not enough to shake of the
| apathy that the summer months are approaching.
| The stock 10 ample. Dry goods men are having
rather good business. Spring goods are coming
in ard interior merchants are replenishing their
stocks. Banks are amply supplied, but have few
calls for loans or discounts they have some little
trade in coin and exchange and are devsing plans
to get their money back to headquarters. Weather
balmy and bracing. River rising. Health con.
