We have 10 state that our cotton mar
ket remains III the same depressed condi-
lion as 10 prices which has been the case
some weeks. The demand however has
in some degree revived, and the sales for
the two last weeks amount TO 1880
bags; and the imports tor the same peri
cd amount tn 6,93S bags, of all descrip-
tons. In reviewing the prospect Of any
alteration, we have on the one hand TO
take into account the large stock at pre-
sent held, with the expectation of heavy
supplies from the East Indies: which lat
ter, and especially Surats, from their very
low prices, tend TO depreciate the price
