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. Wholesale Price List. COMMERCIAL.
