Since our last review the fe iturcs of the cotton market have undergone trie or no material alteration; prices, it is true, ha ; been very fluctu ating, but tne general averag rates have been j maintained. The sales were inimated, and ex- j ceeded considerably those of ie previous report. Throughout tiie week a fevi ish slate of uncer- j tainty prevailed among open ms, lespecting the i markets abroad, and the last a vices received, just previous to this dale, were no in any degree cal- j ciliated to improve ti e t ne o confidence, or add j stability to the ever shifting a >ect of affairs.

March 17. The state of trade, we reg tto say, continues to be extremely dull, with Jit e or no prospect of amendment before the next arvest, and with the certainty that there will be 0 improvement then unless tiie crops should be 1 ach more productive than they have been for the last two years. The primary cause for the evils i uier which the coun try is now suffering, is the d< ciency of the harvest of 1838 and 1839, owing to \ hich a large propor tion of the income of every i dividual in the coun try has been withdraw:: om the channels in which it usually flows, and t ,s evil has been great ly aggravated by defective egislation as to the trade in corn, and by defect in the monetary in st lotions of England, and sfi greater oruvs in those <4 England’s must extensive >reign customer —the Tinted States. 'To some « teat, therefore, tha present distress results from auses which no legis- lation can effect, but no one who locks nt the mat- 1 ter dispassionately can deny that it has been great ly aggravated by causes which are within the con- I trol of legislative wisdom. jyj 2rc Ii 17 The sales of cotton yesterday, were 3500 bales 1 to Tie trade, except 150 bales for export, and a!- ; though the import in two days, was nearly 40,000 bales, yet the market was steady, and closed with I 2 uim»iess not anticipated by spinners.” The sales are, in Ivro days, 6000 tales. The inaiket closed yesteiday more regular in price,and a though the impoit was very large, say nearly 40,000 hales, in two days, yet there was a steadi ness and brmness shewn, which Spinners seemed not to anticipate, and although no advance, 3.500 b.des changed hands at full rates. “In Manchester there was more doing at former rates.” Havre, March 13.
