COTTON.

My last circular was dated sth instant. We are since in
receipt of advices per Persia to 25:h and per Indian toa Quebec,
to 29th ulto. The former reported an advance of kid to 3.16 d
in the Liverpool Cotton Market, with sales for the week to the
amount of 73,000 bales. In Manchester a good demand
existed, and an advance in goods and yarns equivalent to that
in the raw material had been obtained. Money continued easy,
and the weather for securing the hatvest all that could be de-
sired. The latter advised the Cotton Market as steady and
unchanged, the sales for the three days amounting to 26,00 U
bales. Further accounts from India were considered of an
unfavourable nature, and a decline in consols had taken
place. _ _

The transactions in this market during the put week have
been on a moderate scale, and our domestic consumers have
again bee❑ the principal operators. Holders, in view of the
small stock of Cotton now on band, are very independent, and
refuse all offers except at extreme prices. The sales for the
week I estimate at 6,000 bales, the market closing quietly but
firmly at the quotations annexed, which are ic to is higher
than those current at the date of my last report. The export
has been—:o Liverpool, 671 bales; na.naburgh, 24. Tutal,
695 bales.

SOUTHERN MAURITS : During the week under review
a moderate business has been done. Stocks diminish
rapidly, and it is very difficult to obtain desirable parcels
in quantity. Particulars will be found by reference to reports
from each.

By telegraph the following has been received :

bales ; same week last year, 755. Sales of the week, 4,100,

6,000. Middling, 15e. Freights nominal. Rains continue.
CROP : The accounts from the Cotton growing region are
again very conflicting. Complaints of too much rain are very
general, and in some sections fears of serious damage to the
plant are entertained. At other points, Lowever, it is reported
as being in a flourishing condition.
The tollowing is a statement of the movement in Cotton
since the Ist September last, as compared with the pre-
vious three years :
