Monday Evening, June IS, 1856.
COTToN-The market has been exceedingly I'M
settled to-day. At an early hour the Peruvian's
advices from Europe came to hand, which re-
ported an advance Of 3D. % b. in Cotton at
Liverpool on the 9Th inst. soon after, how
ever, dispatch was received from New
York, which quoted Cotton at Liverpool at a
decline of I@3d. on the same day, with sales for
the week ending that day, II 900 bales. It is evil
dent that very material error has occurred in one
or the other of the above reports, however, and
we cannon present reliable statements of the CON
diton of the foreign market, in the absence of
fuller adyices. Since the above was written, the
steamship Cuban's advices have came to
hand, but although one day later they simply report
the Liverpool market unchanged. In our market
we have to report increased activity. There has
been a very fair demand noticeable throughout to-
day, and the sales have summed up 1850 bales,
divided among nine brokers. Offerings were
light, however, and the movement was of an irreg-
uar character from the opening to the close.
Buyers have reported purchases of low middIihg
Cotton at 3l@38c, but as the movement was not
of a general character, we cannot furnish quota
tons and therefore omit usual scale OF rates.
