4 CorToN~4-Thes accumulated evidence OF nrepar-
able injury to the growing crop from worms and
other causes has impaired increased firmness to
the market and the principal factors appear 10 be
exceedingly Indifferent as to pncovering their
samples at present prices. Asfs always the case
however, some parties are compelled to sell at the
best figures they can obtain, but this is not fair
reflex of the actual condition of the market. [
Operations to-day comprised 1900 bales, divided
among eight brokers, and the market closed firm
but quiet at previous quotations which we repeat
as follows, viz ordinary 25t027c.; good ordinary
29031c.; low midding 32@S4c., and middiing
35M36c In our last we remarked that there was
nothing whatever in the advices from Liverpool
upon which to base lower quotations for the staple
which had not been previously constructed by the
unfayorable reports of the growing crop but as
it usually occurs when an important development
Is to be made the type misTepresented our views
and our language by substituting the word grain
for growing. A private dispatch just received,
announcing a further reduction in the discount
rate Of the Bank Of England to-day to Pcent.,
which intelligence viii doubtless result in
further enhancement Of rates Of cotton. G&
