Commercial sntsIIwsnr..


CoTToN-The market has been unsettled
throughout to-day. At the opening prices were
very stiff, and, with good demand, several hua
dred bales soon changed hands at full previous
prices, but as the day advanced sdvices of a dis
coursg iug character were received from the
Liverpool and New York cotton markets, well
as intelligence of heavy fluctuations, which cul-
minated IN marked decline in the rates of Gold
at The latter point The offering supply of the staple
WAS light here, however, and as the competition
the part OF foreign and domestic buyers was of a
very spirited and animated character from the opeS-
ing the close Of business aggregate sales OF $500
bales were effected at an average decline Of &c. ID
10. We have, therefore, revised our figures, and
would now quote as follows. viz: Ordinary l224
13lc., good ordinary 14s@l5c., low middling l5t
@f5so., middling l6Gl64c., strict mddling 1910
l61c. and good middng nominal at l70lT4c.
The decline ia Foreign Exchange resulting from
the falling of in rates OF Gold contributed very
materially to the reduction in quotations of the
leading staple. .- s...r...
