COTTON,-For the three days imme-
diately succeeding our last weekly review,
there was much enquiry, especially for
the better qualities OF Cotton, and about
300 bales changed hands a: full last weeks
prices. Holders exhibited much firmness,
and evnced little inclination to sell at our
last qIotations--contending in some in
stances, for small advance. But Satar-
days mail brought US tie foreign advices
per Acadia, at Boston, fifteen days later,
being from Liverpool to the 10Th Novem-
Der. These accounts we're of an unfa~
vorabe character. There had been a
decline in the lower descriptions Of Cotton
in Liverpool of 18 to lad, and the mar
ket heavy, with a general disposition on
the part of holders TO effect sales. From
the manufacturing districts the accounts
were of the most gloomy character, with
little prospect of relief; and the London
money market was very tight. The news
could not be without its effect on cur mar
ket. Buyers Immediately held off, rcfu-
sing to operate except at concession on
the part of holders, which being declined,
a light business during the last three days
has been the consequence. Holders gen
orally demand the current prices of last
week, while buyers contend for Ieduc-
ton of1.2 cent on all the lower qualities.
The market therefore, is in a very unset.
tied state. The limited transactions have
been generally at decline ofI-4 cent on
the qualities below middling fair, while the,
finer grades command last weeks prices.
The total sales Of the week sum up 600
bales, as follows:
Wednesday, 1000, Thursday, 1000
Fridoy 500, Saturday 500. Monday 500,
and 100. We give the following quota
tons, in accordance with actual transac-
tons since the receipt of the foreign advi~
ces, with the remark, that buyers decline
operating 10 any extent, except at a fur
