CRESCENT OFFICE, No. "a CAN'T Street,


CoTToN-Ina tivity has been the most prominent
feature of the market to-day. The European ad-
vices to the Sd inst, by the Saxonia, were re-
ceived by telegraph last night, and though vague
and incomplete, were generally construed as de-
cided!y nnfavorable. Sales Of Cotton at Liver
pool on the I'd and Sd are reported at 5000 bales
at 40ld decline, but no quotations have come to
hand up to the present writing. The foreign news
has had but little if any effect upon our market
and prices still rule nominally as at the close of
business on Saturday. In fact there has been no
improvement in the offerings or general movement
at any time noticeable to-day and operations which
have been restricted to 1900 bales, divided among
seven buyers were almost exclusively confined, las on
Saturday, to small lots for filing up lists of previous
purchases. Prices of the better descriptions con-
tinue firm while the lower grades somewhat
weaker, but no variation has transpired in either
of sufficient magnitude to justify any alteration of
quotations. and we therefore repeat previous
figures, as still comprising the principal transae
tons Of the day, viz: ordinary SQG132c. good
ordinary 33@34c. low middlng 35036c.; and
middling 39@4Oc
