COTTON-Up to noon, in consequence of
the absence of telegraphic accounts, no bu-
siness at all was done. Soon afterwards,
however, the Liverpool dispatches were re-
ceived, quoting the market at ll:l5 A. NJ. as
| buoyant. Estimated sales, $4,000 bales,
| quoting Uplands II 1-20125, and Orleans
12g0124. Simultaneously the l:2O F. NJ
telegram came to hand, advising the market
quicker {! quieter,) under large arrivals.
sales 10000 bales and prices nominally un-
changed These oft-recurring telegraphic
| Inconsistencies unsettle the minds of opera
| tors and retard business. In New York pri-
ces opened at 81 l-2G32 1-2, aud closed at 81
032 for Upands and Orleans Middling, buy
els refusing to pay the former.
In this market to-day's sales as reported
so far are $40 bales, only at % to % 1-2 for
Good Ordinary 80 to 30 - for Low Mddling,
and 81 to 81 1-2 for Middling. A larger bu-
sness would probably have been done if
sellers generally had been willing to accept
the above figures, which We're nominal at
| the close.
