into the Bank OF England, and on the Esd

Z to per cent. Satterthwaite's circular of
the evening Of the 22d, says the market for

Gay prices s gave way, and sales took place
pound. Thursday being holiday, bust
ness was suspended, and yesterday, while
there was much inquiry, holders appeared
TO be unwilling to meet buyers and the
transactions were very limited, sellers in
most cases having withdrawn their stocks
from the market. Although our receipts
for the past week show an increase over
any previous one this season, there is but
limited quantity placed on the market,
most of it being shipped or put into ware
houses to await higher prices. Such trans
actions as have taken place during the
week have been about at the following quo

prices OF cotton arc quoted in all instances
with the duty off, unless otherwise stated.
In the early part of the week, there was
some inquiry for Sea Island, and small
fancy lot was sold above our highest quo
tatlons; but at the close of the week the
market was very quiet, and we renew the
