COTTON,
Our last Weekly Report, of Thursday evening,
May 21th, closed on a stiff market. During the
first part of the post week the market was quite
active, but for three days lias been dull.
Demands have been brisk, and offering supply
good. The receipts both by Rail Road atid Wagon
have been light. There is no demand except for
the better grades. Prices are altogether nominal,
«i:id we close on a dull market. At llie present
time of writing prices have a declining tendency,
at the following quotations;
Middling 31 a
Strict Middling 32 a !.
Good Middling 33 a
We quote the following from the Weekly Cotton
Circular of William Bryce & Cos., dated New York
Friday Evening, May 25,1860:
The stcamerCuba lias arrived since our last Cir
cular was issued, with Liverpool advices to the 12th
inst., one week later than before received. Hie
report of the cotton market shows a decided de
cline in quotations, an increase of stock, and com
paratively small operations. New Orleans Middlings
sold during the week as low as twelve pence. Tho
stock had increased some 85,0(H) bales, as will be
seen from our subjoined figures. The imports for
the week ending the 11th, amounted to 151,000
bales, while on the 12th instant, 110 less than
75,00;) bales were received, making 225,000 bales
in eight days. Hie sales of the week amounted to
45,830 bales, 21,970 being American, the greater
part being taken by the trade. A great degree of
' uneasiness had pervaded the market, and prices
receded daily until Saturday, when advices from
this country of stronger markets and diminished
receipts were received, when a better feeling pre
vailed, increased by the calmer conditions of mon
etary affairs in London. The sales for tlio 12th
amounted to 20.000 bales, and an advance of fully
a half-penny was established, and the market
closed firm at 12j 'd. for New Orleans Middlings.
Our own market for the week has followed a
course diametrically opposite to that of Liverpool;
the rise has been strong, steady, and sustained.
All grades,have advanced, Middlings taking the
load, though low grades have moved more readily
than for six weeks past- Contracts for June and
July delivery are not being offered, ami in addition
to Hie natural and legitimate causes leading to an
advance of which wc have spoken in our previous
Circulars, a spirit of speculation begins to pervade
the market, and outside parties are loading them
selves with cotton to be stored away until the sure
coming scarcity produces proportionate profits.
Spinners are removing considerable Cotton away,
but their wants are yet far from supplied, and the
sharp advance in Cotton goods this week will tend
to make them more generous buyers. Exporters
are out of the market, and until Liverpool advances
considerably above present rates they will con
tinue unable to purchase.
Advices this week from the South contain no
new items; that the crop will be a small one,
everybody agrees, and even the most radical
makers of estimates are reducing their figures to
within the limits we have ail along urged. The
memorial of the New York Chamber of Commerce
has been presented to the House, ami by that body
referred to the Committee having tho bill under
consideration.
