COMMERCIAL.
Cotton.

Cotton
There was no Cotton market; paral-
wed by the heavy decline in Liverpool,
neither buyers nor sellers were disposed
to operate, and only a few small lots
changed hands. New York dispatches
quoted Cotton dull and dropping at Sec.
In the evening private dispatches ar
rived, stating that another English
steamer wRs Ia with news TO the 18th
one day later-and Cotton was lG9d
lower, with a panic in the Liverpool
market. What caused this panic is a
question of considerable interest, but one
which we are unfortunately unable to
answer. The morning kilograms omitted
to tell us one word of the foreign
continental news, consequently we have
no later knowledge of the state of the
German difficulty and respecting Eng
land, we were told only that "the Cot
ton market was duh, owing to Fenian
difficulties, and excessive receipts"
There is, Of course, nothing OF Fenian
difficulties TO cause a "panic" in the Cot
ton market, and as the European mer-
chants are not now learning for the first
time that the amount Of Cation proves
much larger than was expected some
months ago, and have for some time
based their calculations upon the fact OF
that excess, it does not look probable that
so well known a fact would bear to a
panic. The sales reported to us were so
trivial we omit them, and the prices were
irregular-Low Middling at go, $50 and
29c Middling at Bse, 29c and80c-nearly
all at the latter price Strict Middling
at S2c.

most to stagnation the heavy depres-
