Tuesday Evening, Nov. 7, 1866.
CoTToN.-Tle unfaVorable tenor of adyfces
from Liverpool and New York have unsettled the
market, and operations to-day have been restrict
ed to 5000 bales at gradually declining prices. A
large number of factors uniformly refused to un-
cover their samples Or entertain offering prices
however, but some others had to sell, and of
course eElatter could not dictate terms. Were
prices at a range that we could reproduce frac
tonal rates we might quote q general de-
cline of 3@3c. per lb., as was not unusual
when middling cotton ruled at l0012c
per lb. But with quotations ranging from
30@40c. per h., we deem divisions or subd-
visions of cents wholly out Of place, and would,
therefore, report general decline to-day of lc. u
d. upon all classifcatfons, but especially upon the
lower grades A reduction of l IL cent. in For
egn Exchange, superadded to the dscouraging
Cotton advices from the North and from Europe
doubtless contributed to the depreciation of the
staple to-day, and we now quote ordinary at
30@3lc., good ordinary at 330S4c., low middling
at Sj03Gc., and middng at 3Sc. Since closing
cur remarks, as above, still later advices have
come to hand, which exhibit an advance in the
Liverpool market, and will doubtless create re-
action in this.

LIVERPOOL MAREET.-The following extract is
taken from Messrs. Boult, English s. Brandon,s
Liverpool circular of the 18th ult.
Cotton-The advanced quotations received in the
early part of the week from India and America,
caused large demand, and prices advanced
about I'd. % D., but on Wednesday reaction set
in the demand has fallen of considerably (yes-
terday the sales amounted to only 5000 baIes} and
prices have declined about ld 49 fb. from the
highest point. The sales for the week amount to
l038lO bales of which the trade take 4G, 800
bales, exporters 25,4G0 bales, and SPECTATORS
32,030 bales. The stock is decreased this week by
45,120 bales, being estimated at 647OO0 bales
(2l8,550 Amercan) against 280370 bales (37, $50
Amercan) same time last year. The authorized
quotations are: For middling Orleans l59d. mid
ding Bowels l54d., and fair Dholerah lid. 10 fb.
The sales to-day are 10000 bales, at steadier
prices,
