CoTTeN. There are about $500 bales on the
market which closes dull with a downward
tendency; we note the sale yesterday OF a
small lot of good quality atsl0A. Holders,
however, are asking II cents for strictly
prime article. The most of the cotton on
the market is of inferior or stained grades,
which rules dull at from 3 to 10 cents. A
prime article is in demand and would sell
readily at from l0A to II cents.
CenN.-Owing to the late decline in this
staple the supply has fallen off this week;
the holders generally are holding back for
an advance, consequently the transactions
Of the week do not foot up as handsomely

little over half of the past week. We note an
advance of one per cent per bushel on yell
low, and quote from sales of yesterday II to
rs for yellow; rs for white, which is also an
advance of 2 cents per bushel; sales of
mixed were made yesterday at IS cents.
