through the same source that business would be
wholly suspended throughout Great Britain to-
day, owing TO the general elections. The move

land have again estopped operations 10
the staple at Liverpool, aud we are, OF
course, deprived of the usual reports of sales
and quotations Of Cotton in the latter city to-day.
The movement here, nevertheless. amounted TO
$500 bales al an irregular decline of lc. b h.,
which latter was mostly due to apathy on the part
of buyers.
Thursday, Nou. l9-The movement in the
leading staple today has disclosed a fair
degree of animation. The resumption Of bust.
ness at Liverpool at steady and unchanged
figures caused factors here TO assume
greater frmness, while advices from the
New York market we're rather in favor OF hold
ers. Buyers seeing no disposition on the part of
sellers TO give way came forward more freely and
the inquiry resulted in sales Of 1900 bales, the
market closing firm at an advance OF TO- on yes
terday's ruling rates. The P. NJ. Liverpool dis.
tendency came too late TO have much effect here,
as the principal portion of the sales were made be-
fore il was received.
