Remarks.— There is no change at the B 
Cotton, from the late unfavorable news from Europe, fell in some 
instances last week full ^ of a cent per pound. It has slightly 
recovered now, and the average depression from our last month’s 
quotations may be stated at § to §. Flour by canal has risen, more 
we suspect, from the short supply on hand here, than from any 
other cause. Southern Flour remains about the same. No wheat 
afloat, and quotations therefore nominal. Provisions are firmer, 
and but little choice Mess Beef in market. 
Money continues more and more abundant, and Specie still flow¬ 
ing in upon us. The Banks are seeking investments, and the best 
paper at short sight, is done readily at 4| to 5 per cent. On bond 
and mortgage and long investments, 7 per cent is still obtained. 
Good Stocks are advancing steadily—United States is 3 per cent 
above par—New York six per cents the same. About One Million 
in Stocks, was sold the past week in Wall Street, a greater amount 
than during any one week for the five prec eding years.
