closed the previous evening with a decidedly dull feeling

accumulation of stock, which holders are desirous of re'
dicing. Early on Wednesday morning the news by the
Boston steamer was received, and induced a few buyea
to enter the Market, and the sales amounted to 9,5°
bales, at former rates. Thursday's mail did not bring
the private advices by the steam-ship, and the market Wes,
in cons. quence, heavy ; the sales amounting to 3,600 bales
at prices rather in favour of buyers. Yesterday the letters
came to hand, and were delivered at eleven o'clock, after
which the market became exceedingly dull, and the entire
