COTTON MARKET, APRIL 29.
We have had a better attendance of buyers in our market to-day,
but under existing circumstances their purchases are on a very
limited scale, and though we have a gradually easier market, they
do not on this account get much concession in price. The lower
descriptions of American Cotton might be purchased in quantity
id to id 1) lb below Friday, whilst the better qualities remain
steady. The amount of business is 3000 bales; exporters have
been in the market, and bought 300 good lioweds at 7id, and made
an offer of 4id for 500 Surats, which was declined.
