COTT0N-There is no material alteration OF any
kind to notice in the movement to-day. The mar
ket was but poorly supplied at best and the as
sortment was undesirable and mostly made up of
the lower grades. There was fairinQuiry notice
able throughout however, and despite the unfayor-
able tenor of the Persa's news, the reaction
in Foreign Exchange and the undated strin-
gency manifested by factors, sales would doubt
less have been heavy, had the offerings been
free and fair amount of even running lists,
especially of the better descriptions, been pre-
scented. As it was, we have to report operations
to the extent of 2l69 bales, which were taken by
l6 buyers, and disclose more general demand
than has been observable for several days past.

movement was effected generally within the range of
