COlTON.—LirzarooL, Jas. 11.—The " B.oker'e cit.
elder " says the cotton market was quiet on ?inlay mid
Saturday, with a slight reduction in prices but with more
doing on Monday. Thursday's rates were nearly recovered,
The business since has been to a fair extent but with
quieter tone, the week closing with some decline from
former quotations. In Sea Island the business has beet
fair, and at about previous rates for the current qualities.
In American quotations are reduced Id. to ga. for ordinary
and middling, though the business has been considerable.
Brasil is only in moderate demand, and prices have give'
way fully 44, per lb. For Egyptian the recent large
port has caused considerable irregularity during the last
few days, and prices are Id. to id. per lb. lower generally.
Smyrna has declined id. to Id. per lb. In East India
Surat has been more liberally offered, especially in the
better qualities, and with less doing prices have declined

COTTON GOODS.—NAmotsorsze JA.v.ll. —The market
for shipping yarns has again been quiet, and to make salt,
rather lower prices would have to be taken. There hue
been offers for very large quantities, but at prices too lov
to be accepted by spinners, who, though easier to cial
with, are not yet in • position to be beaten down our
much. The prices of Tuesday implied, in many caw
lowa of IL to per lb. on yarns, and both spinners era
manufacturers find that to sell they must submit tontines
losses. In yarns there is a strong disposition to busin.o
at a price. For home trade yarns the market is very quiet
Business is to some extent kept in check by mann/sr.
turers not knowing what course the workpeople will
take in reference to the proposed reductions of wmeg.
The little baldness done has generally had to be effecta at
prices slightly in favour of buyers. In cloths there is rt.
ceedingly little doing, and there is almost a suspensioe of
business. Buyers keep aloof from the market, and appear
unwilling to snake offers at rates which would be likely to be
accepted. A feeling of uncertainty as to the extent of re•
commercial disasters in China following upon the
allure of Dent and Co. ban a bad effect upon business.
