COTTON.-The trade has been quiet during the
week, and, with the exception of the lower qualities,
in which there was a reduction of 1-16 d. per lb.
since the previous Friday, prices have been pretty
generally maintained. The sales during the week,
ending on Friday, amounted to 35,570 bales, of
which 3,220 were taken by speculators and 4,390 for
exportation. On Saturday the sales were 6,000
bales, of which 1,500 were chiefly for export. It is
expected that the receipts during March will show
a decided decrease, upon which holders seem con-
fident; and, should this prove to be the case, prices
may go higher. TO-DAY the market was very quiet,
there being no advices from the other side, owing
to the non-arrival of the Niagara. The sales were
confined to about 5,000 bales, of which about 500
were for speculation and export, without change in
prices.
