CoTToN-Owing TO ncessant rain to-day the
movement IN the staple has been restricted to
$500 bales. but prices have still further advanced
fully 21lc., a 70. Advices from Liverpool and
New York continued Of highly encouraging
character, while rates of Gold and Exchange
tended still upward. The offering supply OF the
staple was light throughout and but for this and
the unfavorable condition of the weather the sg-
gregate sales of Cotton would doubtless have
been very heavy. The ruling quotations at the
close Of business this evening were 2ilG254c lor
ordinary, 26a@27c. for good ordinary, -Cg273c-
for low middling, -D2SAc. for middling, and C.
for strict middling.
