CoTTON-The market has been at a comparative
stan d still throughout the day. The supply and
demand we're at no time better than nominal, and
as the few buyers who made any inquiries de-
maDded concessions, in view of the less favorable
tone Of the New York and Liverpool adyices,
which holders and factors uniformly resisted. Ope-
ratiODs have been restricted to las bales, at Sat-
urdsy's quotations. which We repeat, however,
as but barely apprOximating figures, viz: Good
ordinary 27c., low middlDg 2Sc, and middling 29c.
