CHARLESTON, Dec. 2S.-CoTToN.-The past
week has been one of striking dullness in the sta
pie, the transactions, which were small, having
been at steadily declining prices and the market
closed at quotations full two cents p b. lower for
all qualities than were prevailing at the close of the
previous week. This condition is largely owing
to the great fluctuations in the gold market, and
the consequent general unsettled condition of mon
ey matters. Factors are in many cases, keeping
their cotton out of the market and looking for
more favorable state of prices as the season ad-
vances. The following statement exhibitsthe da-
