| COTToE-Advces from all domestic Localities |
are Of a character wen calculated to enhance
prices Of the leading staple, and we need hardly
say that the market is very stiff Rates OF Gold
and Foreign Exchange tend upward, both in the
| Northern and Southern markets. Sales Of Cotton
show marked advance at New York Accounts
4 of the growing crop look more gloomy every day,
and the effect of the crevasse appears by subse-
quent intelligence to have been moderated in the
reports first published, which have already gone
abroad. But, superadded to the above ia the i'm
portant fact that our banks, having no further
| heavy demands for advances in the Western Pro-
duce department, the business season being nearly
closed, are now turning their attention to Cotton,
and offer to employ large portion of their very
heavy deposits in the way of advances to holders
Of the feeey staple. Offerings, especially of the
better grades, have been very light to-day, and
sales have amounted to 1920 bales, taken by
eleven brokers' at full previous prices for ordinary
and good ordinary, and an advance ofec. on low
middlng and mddIing. We have to quote fol
lows, viz ordinary 27929c., good ordinary S1@
&c., low middling 34@35c., and middling 37@38e.
