! CoTToE.-Re had occasion to state In our semi
weekly report that with unfavorable weather and ad-
vices by the Persia Of slight reaction ct Liverpool
seheek had been given to the movement in our mar
| ket, but holders generally remained quite firm in
their demands and thus the sales of the 6rEt three
days of the week barely reached 5000 bales at soe-
what irregular prices but in most instances rather IN
favor Of buyers On Wednesday with later Euro
Pean news due, which parties generally appeared
disposed to await the business was confined to some
SUVO bales the advantage in prices being in favor Of
buyers to the extent Of about cent. On Thursday
with four days later at hand there was rath-
er better attendance Of buyers and as holders show
ed disposition 70 meet them about upon the basis
Of the shove mentioned decline business was trans
acted 20 the extent Of fully 1900 bales. Yester-
day morning the Americas adviees, still three days
later, were before the public reporting heavy mar
ket ct Liverpool with decline Of I-l66R I'd in some
descriptions. This intelligence did not effect any
farther marked decline here holders generally being
quite firm but there appeared TO be rather more sell
lers than buyers at our quoted rates, with sales Of
about 5000 bales; which would make total for the
past three days Of 600 bales and for the week of
about 26 600 bales We present the following as the
