has remained just steady since Friday; but the business doing
is still very meagre, though rather more inquiry was shewn on
Friday afternoon ; but the offers made were generally too low
for acceptance. To-day the market is quiet ; and but for the
unsettled state of continental politics, more business for the

cotton at the American ports act unfavourably on the prices
here.
