tinuei rise is the price of cotton compels spinners and
manufacturers to raise their quotations, and higher prices
are asked to-day for all hinds of yarns and cloth. The
stocks being low, buyers, to supply themselves, must
give the higher rues. Altogether,
.the market is very
firm, with a moderate amount of business doing.
