CoTToN-0perations in the leading staple dur
ing the week ending this evening have alternately
exhibited extreme lassitude and considerable
buoyancy. The offering supply has been of a very
restricted character throughout, and the demand
has been irregular and at best only sporadic. The
leading influences of the movement were the ex-
ceediDgiy reduced condition Of the stock and re-
ceipts, and the conflicting tenor of the European
and Northern advices. After several days Of ex-
IRENE languor and duness a better feeling has
recently prevailed, however, and the market
closes firm this evening at our quotations., which
show net gain OF 13c. u 10. on the ruling prices
Of Friday evening the 18th inst, as will be seen
viz: -
Saturday June l3.-sales TO day have been re-
strcled 10 34l bales at an irregular decline of &C. q
ID. on yesterdays quotations. rhe Offering supply
is still very light, and the demand cannot be re-
gar ded as better than nominal while the rumored
falling of in prices at Liverpool and New York
bias no effect whatever in changing the views Of
those factors who can afford to await the good
time coming which has been so long predicted.
In the present condition of the market il would
be worse than useless to attempt to give reliable
quotations.
Monday, June l5-The Liverpool and New York
sdvices at hand early day have impaired bet
ter tone to the market. Factors and holders have
manifested less disposition TO press their supplies,
while the demand has disclosed general desire
ON the part of buyers to participate even to
limited extent in the nominal stock which yet re-
mains in first hands. The total sales, however,
have been confined to $50 bales, including 600
bales taken by one party, aud the market closed
slightly frmer, but not quotsbly higher.
Tuesday, June l6-With the exception Of Good
Ordinary, which has gone &c. still lower, prices
have remained comparatively steady to-day. Ad-
vices rom Liverpool and New York disclosed no
marked alteration at any time, and with limited
supply and demand throughout, total sales of $50
bales have been effected to six buyers. -sfoity
4 Wednesday,, June L -Advices of a very cheering
character from Liverpool and New York were at
hand early 70 day and as the subsequent mtelli.

the former holders IN this market have been consi-
derably elated throughout But few new lists have
been brought forward however, and as the Offering
supply was of very limited character from the
opening to the close OF business, operations. de-
spite somewhat general demsnd, have been re-
stricted to 1920 bales. At the same time prices
have been exceedingly irregular, and while we

has been participated In by seven buyers-two of
whom took 500 bales each. 20 fioa
Thursday, June lS.-The movement in the
leading staple to-day has disclosed increasing buoy.
sney throughout. The offering supply was as
heretofore quite restricted and need hardly say
that holders, in view of the upward movement in
prices at Liverpool and New York enhanced their
figures to the utmost tension. The Offering sup.
ply was of too Insignificant character, no wever,
to admit Of heavy, or even moderate operations,
and the total sales have been limited to $50 bales,
divided among six buyers. The actual advance
effected in rates to-day is 10. u 10. upon all css-
sfcations, and the market closed stiff at the en-
HANGED figures. Hli r. e-IlD ullG T3lll :
