movement under this heading. fair amount Of
business was effected at the Brokers' Board while
0uttoor transactions continued light at about
precious figures.
0otton-The movement in the leading staple is
still partially and almost wholly suspended Most
factors manifest the utmost indifference about.sel
ing While the demand cannot be reported as much
Soetter than nominal. Some brokers expected tc
nave been able to purchase at very low figures or
Saturday, in view of the unfavorabe character Of
the European news by the City of Paris, but il
this they were disappointed, except in the way o
trifng lots, as holders confidently look for a speedy
and heavy reaction owing to the steady falling of
in the receipts and the continued unfavorable ad
vices of the growing crop The sales on Saturday
were only 300 bales, at irregular and lower rates.
Sugar and MolasseS-O offerings of Louisiana
are very light, but the market is fairly supplied
with imported Sugars and Molasses, which are
rather more firmly held. The demand is mostly o
a retail character, however, and we hear of bu
1ery few operations of round lots of either
Western Produce-The inquiry for the bette
lrands of Flour is unabated, and with only lin

sitter prices. Bran is unchanged and Hay is in
active, but firmly held at prices which disclose al
upward tendency.
ProUisioRS-Pork ia quiet, but firm. There wa
fair inquiry on Saturday, but operations were
retarded by the stringency of asking rates, which
were above the views of buyers Bacon is in only
limited supply, and as the demand is active, especi
ally in a retail way, holders manifest increased
frmness.
Insurance Scrip,-Holders of scrip Of the Cres

that the company will anticipate and pay interest
on the scrip if presented at their office on ant
after this day, which doubtless will be agreeable
