Friday Evening, April 27, 1866. I
COTToN--We have no material alteration of any
kind to report in the movement of the leading
staple to-day. The supply and demand have
ruled precisely as heretofore, quite restricted, and
the actual sales for the day were limited to 5G5
bales, taken by three brokers. 1t was rumored,
however, that the total sales would amount to 1000
bales, but the party who originated it ac-
knowledged that he had not bought bale him
self, and that he did not know of any
sales beyond those referred to above. Ru-
mors of a similar character have frequently
gained circulation before during this week, but
the disposition to diminish or magnify operations
should be frowned down. as it is reprehensible,
and cannot subserve any justifable cause. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that in the present condi
ton of the market no reliable Or even closely
approximatng figures can be obtained, and we
therefore omit usual scale of quotations, with
the remark that prices are depressed by the
Northern and European advices but the down
ward tendency of the market is checked by the
limited character of the receipts, the unfavorable
accounts of the growing crop, and the almost un
paralleed advance in rates of exchange. The to-
tai sales for the week amount to only 5492
bales, against 1l,726 bales last week, and
and 1920 bales the previous week. The net re-
ceipts foot up ,620 bales against II ,O26 bales
last week and l2,9Os bales the week previous The
