The news received last week from Europe Is
considered highly favorable, and has had an in
spring Influence on trade generally. The holders
of cotton here, and al the South, have been bene-
fted by rise. usarrprovi<ions aud coffee. have
all partaken of the feeling. The great West.
where provisions are packed, will realize large
advance. The crop OF sugar has passed from the
planters to The hands of spectators. The article
of -four and bread stuffs is without any change in
price. The travelling season has begun in good
earnest our cIty presents quite crowd OF sirau-
gers, and our hotels well filed. The auction
GERS are doing large business, and the groceTs
and dry goods merchants are very we'll employed.
I-Our Grand Canal still remains closed, which is an
interruption TO the trade Of the West. Our South
ern channels OF communication are again Open,
and have become quite active by the amount of
transportation. The preparations for business the
North River are very great; all the steamboats, are
hied out, and several new and elegant boats are
preparing. The adjournment of Congress has re-
stored the public mind 10 state Of repose, and
there is nothing new to create aud great de-
gree of excitement. = ErpreSs
COTTON The advance OF II 10 1-2 cent
noticed last week has been sustained, but nothing
beyond. The transactions have varied some days
quite largely. Prices although up. are lower here
than at the South. The French aud Gerruan buy
ers have Withdrawn from the market. The man
ufactnrers also well stocked at low prices,
thal'they are doing but very little. The trade is
carried on almost by shippers To England. The
sales since our last are large; full $1,000 bales,
