since my last report this market has not shown mud;
animation. Prices are somewhat lower both fo
Yarns and goods generally. The best qualities form
an exception, and maintain their value, but more
especially for deliveries within the month of Octobef

be got. This Rorning the general tone of OA
market was stronger, but since noon there is a auieth
feeling and more desire to meet offers."
