COTTON.—The market during the week has been more
than ordinarily dull, and prices in consequence were lower
to the extent of id on Brazil and Egyptian, and id to id
on American and Surat. This dulness was owing in a
great measure to the inaction of the manufacturers, and
the unsettled state of the money market. To•DAY the
accounts by the Asia were received, and the reports of the
new crops being more unfavourable than the preceding
ones, the business done was of greater extent than for
some time past. The sales amounted to 7,000 bales, of
'which 2,000 were taken on specula
firmer rates.
