Saturday Evening" Sept 8, 1856 : /
CoTToN-SOme Of our contemporaries this morn
ing quoted favorable tone in the market yester-
day, superinduced by encouraging advces from
Europe, but we have scanned the cable kilograms
in vain to find any justification for the assertion
that the news from Liverpool was favorable. In |
fact, the only intelligence on the subject trans
nitted Yesterday was that the sales of cotton for
the week were barely so, GOO bales, at decline of
ID. per Ii on the opening rates. The closing quo
tation last evening was 13d. for middling against
l3Id. at the opening of the week, market pre-
SCENTS nothing for special remark. The stock on
hand is ample to supply any general demand, but
factors in many cases, withhold their offerings,
and the supply upon the market is still restricted
and irregular. The weather to-day has been ex-
ceediDgly unfavorable for outdoor operations Of
any kind, especially transactions in the leading
staple as it raned almost continuously from the
opening of business to the close of the market.
The sales, nevertheless foot up about 1000 bales
at previous figures, but factors this evening were
less disposed to offer their supplies in view Of the
| probable damage to the growing crop, by recent |
theayy rains. As remarked in our last, however, |
the latter may have been partial, and may not
lave extendedto the whole of the. cotton growing
country, but should the contrary prove to be the
case, we may very naturally caculatetupon a
heavy falling off Of former estimates of the grow
ing crop and of a.proportonal advance in prices
at no distant day. The market closed unsettled
| this evening at yesterdays quotations which we
repeat as follows to-wit; Ordinary 2412Gc, good
ordinary 28G329e., low middling 3003lc. and mid
ding at 33t934c
