CoTroN-The market is frmer. but still mac
tive. Advices from New York to-day had re-
assuring effect, but the absence of later news
from Liverpool, owing to the holidays, deters
most buyers from increasing their purchases. AT
The same time The Offering supply continues light
ference as TO uncovering their tables or entertain
ing the overtures of purchasers. The total sales
for the day amounted 70 only l250 bales, and the
market closed unsettled at the following approx
mating quotations. viz: Good ordinary, 29c., low
middling soc. and middng slc- u ID.
