CorToN-The absence of later advice by the
Atlantic cable has caused partial suspension of
operations in the leading staple to-day. Offerings,
especially of the better grades were light through
out, and the demand has been of a very restricted
character from the opening to the close of bust
ness. The only actual sales that transpired were
700 bales, divided among nine brokers, which
shows that the movement was generally confined
to small or riaing lots. Both factors and brokers
assert that there is no variation in quotations, and
we therefore repeat Saturday figures, as follows,
viz. Ordinary 25@27c., good ordinary 29D3lc.,
low mddling 32Q934o., and middling 95@36c. The
proprietors of the Price Concentrating aseeTtained
by actual count that there is an excess of $4,000
bales of Cotton at this port on the regularly re-
ported stock, we cheerfully adopt their
figures with our own, and as we have
gone to some trouble ourselves to learn
the extent of the addition to the receipts
proper, which latter have always been confined
10 bales. OF the large number of sacks of Cotton
that have come to hand during the present season,
as well as the quantity of seed Cotton, ginned
here and the residue found in the way OF samples,
pickings, etc., 30 estimate could be formed with
any degree of accuracy, and it therefore becomes
