THE COTTON MOYEMENT.

NEW YORK, April l6.
The cotton movement for the week shows
a continued falling of in receipts and exports,
compared with many weeks past. The ex-
ports, however, are largely in excess of the
corresponding week OF last year. The exports
from all the ports for the week are s3,9s1
bales. The stock at the interior towns is
6s.5!6. and the stock in Liverpool $4,000
bales. The amount of American cotton afloat
for Great Britain is 800, 900 bales. The weather
South has been very wet, and the rains have
been unusually heavy. This has interfered
with work In the field. In some sections the
weather has been fine, and planting is pro
crossing. Far South the plant is up. The cot
ton supply question is being actively discus.
sed, both here and ut the South. In the gene
raj estimates Of the present crop there is a
strong leaning towards 4,2oo,O 600 US the total
production for the season.

which reached him while he sat In the railroad
carriage in the depot of that city, on his way

sentatiyes of the Meuse CHANGED to meet the
Prince de Ia Moskowa, one of The Emperor's
suite, and communicated to him the substance
of the dispatches received relative to the
events at Paris. The Prince Immediately
alighted, and fastened to the door of tho car
rlage occupied by the Emperor. A few mo-
ments after the Imperial compartment, which
had been previously almost dark, became il!u-
minated, and Napoleon was seen reading the
