Friday Evening, April 23.-Owing to the heavy rain

any transactions in cotton to-day, and have had tel
egrams from anywhere in two days, therefore omit
quotations. We have had now two days of almost in
cessant rain, which has put stop to what little bust
ness was being done. We hope to have fair weather
and business next week, don't think it can rain
much longer.
