NEW YORK COTTON STATEMENT
Or the week ending November 7th /:
General Trode.

Our local trade increases in volume
day by day, and stocks of merchandise
are fast filing up. The feed and pro-
duce market is in dropping state,
owing to dullness at other points, and
want of confidence in the mainten-
ance Of current prices. Meats are
also heavy, and are quoted nominal in
value. Liberal receipts of -four and
meal arrived yesterday, over 1000
barrels Of the latter coming by river
alone. The market for it exhibits
weakness. Corn to the amount of 500
sacks also came in, and found only a
moderate demand at reduced figures.
Potatoes are dropping, with receipts
Of 400 barrels and several lots in sacks
on yesterday. There is also lack Of
tone in the hay market, though a fair
request is reported.
