but spinners are very shy at taking former
rates, as in many instances 2A to 4 per cent

unremunerating state of most of the foreign
markets. Some descriptions that are wanted

present low prices offered. Pig Iron "a per

favorable accounts from the Cotton growing
districts In consequence OF the general tenor
of these advices, holders have shown less dis
position to sell, and prices close with an up

to the 10th of October. The news is highly
important:
