Gold has been down to 18U£,uptO 137';. and closes at 
V.S'i Breadstuff? have been less freely offered, and also 
in less active reqnest. Prices improved early in the month, 
but have been variable and rather depressed for' two 
weeks past. There is now more firmness apparent, and 
holders evince more confidence in the immediate future, 
though the demand is not very brisk. The export busi- 
ness has been checked by the scarcity of desirable freight 
room. Receipts from the interior have recently been very 
light, and the available supplies have been diminishing 
since the opening of the new year. We give, in the ac- 
companying tabular statements, a comparative exhibit of 
the stocks of rtonr and grain on hand at this port. Jan. 1. in 
each of the last three years. This, with the comparisons 
of the receipts at. and exports from the port, for three 
yeais, constitutes an interesting feature — Provisions 
have been in better request, but at irregular prices, the 
market closing slightly in favor of sellers Cotton has 
been in fairdemaDd, opening buoyantly, bnl Closing hea- 
vily. Thus far, in the current cotton year, commonciug with 
Sept. 1, the receipts at this port have been 191,000 bales, 
and at all the shipping ports of the country, S90.000 bales : 
exports from this port. 138,500 bales, and from all ports, 
375.000 bales ; estimated stock now here. 1673,000 bales. 
and at all the ports, at latest mail dates, 54S.000 bales. . . . 
Wool has been in moderate reqnest for manufacturing pur- 
poses, and there has been more firmness, without any re- 
markable buoyancy in prices. The stock of domestic 
fleece in this market on January 1st. was i.130,000 lbs. ; 
of domestic pulled. 800.000 lbs. ; of Texas. California aud 
Oregon. 2,030.000 lbs., making the total stock of domestic 
wool here at the opening of the new year 7.330.000 lbs. 
against 4.300,000 lbs. Jan. 1. 1866, and 4,700,000 lbs. Jan. 1^ 
1865. The total stock of foreign here on the 1st of Jan., 
1807, was 25,400 bales, or eqnal to 14,902,500 lbs. The im- 
ports of foreign wool at this port, in 1866, reached 5S.724 
bales, against 53,420 bales in 1S63. and 113.66S bales in 
1S64. The total arrivals of foreign and domestic wools at 
this port in 1SO0 were 150,705 bales, equal to 59,033.210 
lbs. against 50.400.203 lbs. in 1865, and 77.699,443 lbs. in 
1804. The clip of wool in the United States, in I860, has 
been estimated at 137,000,000 lbs., yielding about fifty per 
cent, of clean, pure wool Tobacco has been in more 
demajd at steady rates. Hay and Hops have been in bet- 
ter request and firmer Seeds, Rice and Hemp have been 
quiet and rather heavy in price.
