June 1s.-Thcre were symptoms OF reaction in
The Cotton Market at the date OF our last pubca-
lion; the improvement has since become more
apnarent. and we have now an active demand
from the trade, who have allowed their stocks
to diminish very considerably, in anticipation of
prices falling still further The contrary has,
however occurred, and the quotations are adj
vanccd though the imports Of the past two weeks
have proved exceedingly heavy. II is understood
that manufacturers have many extensive orders 10
execute, and the altered feeling of the market is
therefore likely to continue.
The sales since Friday have comprised y 600
bales. of which 10000 were sold yesterday, and
5000 today. We do not alter the quotations this
week but the market closes extremely firm, with
an howard tendency.
