CoTToN.-The demand for Cotton during the
early part ofthis week continued good, both for con-
sumers and spectators well as for export, and
with tendency to some further advance in price;
but in the last two or three days the market has been
quiet and speculation suspended,

mand, buyers have had slight advantage. The
