information received during the day. The buying
rate here was lbs.

CoTroN-No dispatches were received from New
York yesterday up 10 P. n, on the subject Of
cotton, and the market closed heavily. There
was some inquiry, however, and we heard of about
60 bales changing hands at from q to 20 cents ac-
cording to quality. Upon the subject of exporta-
ton the New York Times of the 18th says: Ex-
tensiye shipments of cotton were made from this
port during the week ending last evening, the ag-
gregate having been &C. 500 bales valued at g. ILL.,
SJ5, of which to Liverpool there were exported
l3,257 bales, valued at 81 4S4 442; TO Hsvre 2l5l
bales, valued at S4OS.776: and to Bremen 1893
bales, valued at S204112 Thus far in the current
commercial year, beginning with Sept. l. 1865. the
shipments Of cotton from this port have been 3d.
604 bales, or equal to an average export of about
II, $50 week. The estimated stock available here
at present is 10000 bales"
