Co4ToN-The movement In the leading staple

hibited no marked alteration but since then the
Liverpool and New York markets have been in

easier and declining. Receipts have been steadily

tons conveys 9 fair idea Of the general move
ment, viz:
Saturday, Sept. ls.-Thereis but little variation
In the movement Of the leading staple to-day.
Offerings have been fair throughout, and the de-
mand was quite active and general. Holders at first
were very frm in their views, and many refused
the offers made by purchasers but, before the
close of business. sellers manifested more dsposi
ton to realize at the figures they declined early in
the day. Sales have been confined to l726 bales,
and We still quote the market at 22}@23lc. for
low middlng, 23i@2lc. for middling and 24l0
z4sc. for strict middling. 80
Monday, Sept. 2l.-fhe movement in the lead
ing staple to day has been barely moderate. Offer
iDgs throughout have been ample, but buyers at no
time manifested any great desire to operate to any
extent. Holders, early in the day, were very
firm in their views but before the close Of business
decided weakness was noticeable in prices. and

Tuesday, Sept. 22.-To-day the inquiry has
been moderate, and factors early in the day
paid yesterday. Towards the close of business,
however, the New York and Liverpool advlces
being adverse to holders they manifested
greater disposition to reahze-even TO accept
lower rates. Purchasers then came forward more
freely and sales were made of 1850 bales, at
prices showing decline at the close OF business

Thursday, Sept A.-More ample offerings, to-
gether with continued depressing advces from
abroad, have caused further decline in our mar
ket. The demand throughout has been fair and gen.
eral but the decline reported In the Liverpool and
New York markets caused buyers to be more eau
tious in their purchases. Sales we're made however
of 100 bales. Figures paid early In the day
showed but little variation from those OF yester-
day, while at the close decline Of fully 3c. per

81 bales, at still further average decline OF

very little Improvement in this market, which,
from the opening to the close, has continued dull
