consider the market 10 be better III the mid

Orleans, but the better qualities remain the
same, We consider the present improve
ment merel y the result of demand which
the previous dizziness had created. There
are no speculatons, nor any advance in yarns
or goods. The imports are very light from
all quarters, but we see no chance for any
great advance in the article, and without
revival of trade, in Manchester, we shall
continue dull as at present, and nothing will
be done except for the wants of the day

about 4o,oo will be American cotton. There
