Throughout the whole OF this month our

Manchester spinners was looked TO BY many
as an event out Of which an immediate re-
vival of the demand would spring but the
circumstance had little or no effect on the
market; and the attention Of the trade be-
ing afterwards drawn to the large sale Of
India Cotton in London, the business done
here has been of very limited extent, the
sales Of all descriptions during the last four
weeks having been only about 10, 900 bags,
including those sold by auction last week.
or the whole quantity Of India Cotton
brought forward in London at the last sale,
say about 81, 600 bales, nearly "a, 900 bales
were actually sold, some for export, but
chiefly to spectators, the regular trade
having purchased very sparingly; the Ben
gal declined Id a I'D from the price OBJ

June--the Surat sold more freely, but also
at decline Of fully Id per ID. Last week
there were brought 10 auction here about
