We have no very marked changes to note in
the general market since our report of Wednesday
last There is a fair degree OF activity in most
departments Of trade. though the very toll rates
claimed by holders of Cotton appear to have
checked the demand, and most buyers seem in
clined to await the receipt OF the Niagara's ad-
vices, which are now fully due by telegraph.

Oar last semi-weebly report closed upon a rather
inactive market the very full prices claimed by
holders. III connection with advanced lTeights and
declining exchanges. having checked the o1er,-
tons OF purchasers. Besides these there had been
several successive iaiiCres of the mail and parties
were without foreign correspondence by the
America, ihc Baltic and The Humboldt On We'd
nesday the Baltic's letters came to hand. while
the Americas, though due FIRST. are still behind.
The Batic's letters however had little or no
man9nce here and our market FOR some davs past
mas continued to wear dull appearance holders
at the same time maintaining quite 4 firm position
WfI,c the majority Of buyers seemed disposed to
await The later European aGvices by the Niagara

circumstances tue business 81 the past three DAYS
has been confined 10 about 7.J10 bales. viz-;S6O
on Wednesday. 1900 on Thursday and $500 yes
terday, and among these transaction we notice
rc-saes Of seyetalists which ;vou.l Indicate that

Oh specniation In respect 10 prices we have again
to remark lt.as good deal rreguarity pre- walls
though generally speaking holders maintain quite
a irn attitude, especially for the better grades,
which 1t is difficult to find in even-runnng lists.
The lower qualities however, which constitute
the great bulk OF the supply on sale. and which
have been comparatively neglected for solae days
past, are slightly easier according 10 the iudica-
lions presented In the business OF yesterday. but
tue decline Is not sufficiently marked to require a
reduction of our quotations, and We retain the
same figures given in our report of Wednesday
last. The business of the entire week sums up
i2.7G0 bales, taken for Great Britain France
