MARKB2S.

COTTON.—Lmiaruote Dac. 29.—The wales of cotton
to-day are mtirnatad at 7.000 bales, of which 600 have been
taken for export and 1,600 en speculation. The miles Include
100 Bahia, at Sid. • 200 Egyptian, lit 70. to 9d. ; 1,200
Sant, at 30. to 4id. ; amt 260 Sea Islands, at 91d. to
12. d. The sales since Thursday reach 26,000 bales, and the
imports are to the same extent. The market closes with a
hardening leniency. Compared with Fridays
' rates, prices
of American, Surat, and Msceio are id, per lb. dearer. Other
kieds unchanged.

corrox 000DS.—MAacii Dr.c. 29.—The
steadier Luling described in our het market notice still pre-
vails, and we have hid rather more business in the aggre-
gate, especially in yarns. The higher prior asked by spinner%
amounting in some instances to id. per lb., have checked
!mantra, or perhaps a more considerable trade would have
been effected in yarns. For some count, and qualities of cop
yarn, for tie home trade, per lb. advance has been ob.
Wised, but this has been by no means general, though many
offers have been declined where it was not conceded. The
business has been of a general character, embracing descrip-
tions of yarn suitable to the home trade and to the markets
of India, of the Mediterranean, and of Oermany. In the
cloth market manufacturers have been refusing the prices of
last week, very generslly, whilst unable to sell at an advance.
Borne orders to a convidarable smount in the aggregate, for
Bleilellates and 40-inch shirting*, for India, were placed
towal
the end of last week, st an advance that could not
be repeated today. The market is undoubtedly in a better
state than at any time during many past weeks, and prices
MO steadying. A large business could have been dose at
the rats of this day week, but though agents advised the
acceptance of these terms, sellers, looking at the advance in
cotton, were generally firm in refusing them. The firmer
feeling Li attributable to an easier money market, higher
cotton, and the batter news from India. There is s gettersl
impression that things are mending, and must mend, but
that the improvement, for some weeks to come, will be slew
and gradual.
