COTTON MARKET, MAncil
The Cotton market is indeeddlat, and sellers of Cotton sadly
preponderate over buyers, and, as may reasonably be .con-
cluded, paces are gralually receding, without any perceptible
quotations. Offers for quantity are taken, but for small lots
the sellers will not make the concession required, so that it is,
on the whole,..a well-contested battle ; and in this way the bu-
siness Is daily done. The sales to-day are 4,000 bales. 500 to
exporters.
