Cotton Market

The cotton market to-day is more active than
it has been for several days, owing partly to an
advance and great frmness in the New York
market. and also to the fact that the continued
wet weather which has prevailed for the last
two weeks. has caused the present growing crop
to be considerably eurtailed. Middling to-day
would command readily 80 cents. tax paid.
