port-say 100000 bales in one week. This
intelligence has had little or no effect on this

state of exchange between this city and the

The pressure to sell cotton last week, was

week. The demand was fair, but out fac
ed 10y the quantity offered for sale, and our
prices gave way to Cd per h., making in
all, from the highest point in December. a
reduction OF to 4d in ordinary to middline
ialr' and a TO ID in fair to good, and Id on
strictly prime. Inferior cotton is still rela-
lively high compared TO the better qualities;
for example, niddline fair Upland will sell
for os, whilst good to fair is worth only I'd.
and where, in'rinscalIy, the latter is worth
LII per lo' more than The former. But, as
the supply of the lower qualities is now be-
coming pretty large, unless our market
takes turn for the better, inferior must fall
i'll value, to bo in keeping with the finer
