Tuesday Evening, Nov. Ii. latb, J
CoTToE-There IS no important market report
to present to our readers this evening that can be
REGARDED as reliable, and we, therefore, as for
five days past, omit our usual quotations The
principal factors steadily refuse to uncover their
samples, willie the very few who were compelled
to sell to-day were entirely at the mercy of
brokers' The latter, however, do not appear to
be wholly satisfied or agreed upon the question OF
quotations, and it may be that they are equally
divided upon the question of classifcations. Ad-
vices from Liverpool and New York by telegraph
Enthusiastically tend to lower figures, but the ac-
counts Of short crops in the Interior as well as in
other and more remote points, which heretofore
have supplied the European market, are still Of a
character to encourage holders of the staple
bales, and the market is still in too unsettled a
condition to establish reliable or even closely ap
proXimating quotations.
