REMARKS.-The business of the week has been
again marked by great inactivity for the season; and

COTTON-We remarked in our last that ''the
crop of the country was nearly all or quite gathered
except at probably few Southern points, and that
the result was a complete revolution in opinion in re-
gard to its paucity." We were somewhat mistaken
in the foregoing remarks, owing to the misplace oil
figure from which we copied and instead OF the great
total increase of receipts this season. so Ja as we
