COTTON MARKET, NOVEMBER 22

For some time past the report of our market has been unvaried,
viz. tame, dull and fiat, nevertheless prices seem to have bottomed,
and holders evince great firmness. The quantity sold on Saturday
was 3000 bales, and to-day 3000 bales : the market closing with
greater firmness.
