CoTToN-Our review Of Friday evening the 5th
inst, closed upon languid and unsettled market.
Since that date the movement In the leading staple
has been of 9 more irregular and unsatisfactory
character throughout than for any corresponding
time in many years. Every day during the week
ending to-day we were RECALLED with Liverpool
and New York kilograms indicating greater
dullness-further inactvity-increased receipts
heavy stocks-declining prices" etc., till holders
have begun to think that operators In the two
markets referred to had concluded to test the pa
thence of endurance of the New Orleans cotton
factors. Fortunately, however, the supply on
sale or in first hands has been so small that the
actual offerings have been at no time better than
nominal. and 10 accepting reduced figures sellers
generally assimlated the movements to immediate
or pressing wants. For better understanding of
the recent ruling and present condition Of the
market, however, We would refer to the appended
extracts from our daily reports, viz:
Saturday, June 6.-With rather dscour-
aging advices from Liverpool and New York
to-day, our market has been dull and
dropping throughout. But few factors IN.
covered their samples, however, and as the
demand was at no time better than nominal, op-
erations have been restricted to LIS bales In sew
eral tring lots, and at such irregular prices that
we still unable to furnish reliable or even ap-
proximating quotations..
Monday, June 8-With advices at hand Of con.
tnued weakness in the Liverpool and New York
markets. prices here have declined to-day fully &c.
ed character throughout, however, and the total
operations amounted to only SIS bales, including
$50 bales taken by one party.
Tuesday, June 9-There is scarcely semblance
staple. Liverpool and New York seem to vie
with each other to see which can reach the lower
depth, and holders here look on with wonder, but
still refuse to accept offering rates except for
trfng lots, where their credit may be at stake to
meet maturing obligations. In fact, there is no
actual offering supply, and as the demand cannot
be yet regarded as better than nominal it will
tonish no one to learn that sales to-day have been
restricted 70 Az bales, at still further decline of
fully 1c. 10.
Wednesday, June l0.-The market has exhibited
more animation to day. Advices from Liverpool
and New York, however, continue discouraging,

lists. The total sales to-day amounted, to HOO
bales, and the market closed frmer but without
any quotable advance.
Thursday, June 1.-THE market is at stand
still to-day. There have been some would-be buy

duction Of rates, to which holders uniformly re-
fused to submit, operations have been restricted
TO Los bales. in three lots. Quotations continue
unsettled but In the absence of any established
decline, we would refer to previous figures.
Friday, June l2.-To-day q few holders re-
duced their asking rates TO the extent demanded
yesterday by buyers, and as there was moderate
inquiry noticeable throughout, total sales of HOO
party. Prices, however, remain unsettled, a ma
ority of factors would not accept offering figures
to-day, but as indication of the present condi-
ton of the market, we would refer to the sub.
