Tie Position. etc.-The advance In our market
this week has been duet the falling of In re,
eeipts al the American ports. and to continued
favorable adyiees from Manchester. The fall
Ing of In rec ipts has not been greater than In
weeks ago but W nat were then only pointers"
or estimates Is now an ascertained fact. TO
which much more importance II attached. The
movement at the ports would have had even
more influence. but thst we have been told that
the southern tributaries Of the Mississippi are
rising. and that We may expect more liberal re-
ceipts next week. The receipts at New Orleans
are likely TO be spasmodic for some weeks to
lonesome days large. others small. but in
view of the recent decrease In the receipts al
the Atlantic ports. We doubt not that the ten
dency of port receipts. Is q whole, will be TO re-
duca crop estimates on this side: In fact W
already have some indications Of this. AT
present the utmost anxiety IL manifested TO
know the movement at the interior towns this
