ing very full prices, had not partaken OF any
quotabe advance. We quoted Middling Fair

the first dav of the week now under review,
opened rather tamcly, buyers apparently less
willing TO follow holders at the firm prices
which they generally demanded; the sales Of
the day in consequence amounted but to lobl
bales During the three succeeding business
days, Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, there
seemed on The part Of the buyers t" be c"Il-
tnued effort making to operate at lower rates,
which was, however, strongly resisted by hold
ers. This, however, had the effect of lessening
the transactions, which in that time, averaged
only about $50 bales per day, prices continuing
apparently unchanged In the meantime the
accounts by the Africa, promulgated on " ed
ncsday morning, reported the market at Liver
pool, on the lth instant as dull, with decline
of l-l6 on Mddling qualities. During the
lorepart of that day, our market remained in Il
very quiet state about MONDAY, however, buy
crs came forward, and finding holders willing
to accept of easier terms, operated to the
amount of nearly 10000 bales, the reduction
being somewhat irregular. Yesterday the mar
ket continued in a dropping state, aud at more
decided decline of full Id on all grades below
mddling Fair, this class and Fair being very
scarce, still continuing very firm. The days
sale amounted to rising OF 1900 bales, max.
ng the total sales of the week about {, 400
bales, at to 10 ii.
