Week ending December 10, 1869.

NEW YORK, December 1.-THE MARkEr-ln
our last report the market closed dull at 2ohc lor
mddng uplands. Saturday, buyers ana sellers
were both Indifferent about operating. Market
ou,et. Sales 2l2l at o5c. Monday, there was q
good demand but business was restricted by the
small offerings. Sales 1861 At 25Hc. Tuesday,
buyers demanded some concessions on account
OF the foreign news but the small stock Kept
prices steady. Sales 1914 at 25Sc. Wednesday,
there was good spinning anu export demand,
and the market was iirmer but not quotably higll-
er. Sales 1852. Thursday, spot cotton were III
demand for export and spinning. and future con-
tracts were very strong. Sales 1914 al 2oEc. Yes
terday, the market was excited. and there was
general desire to cover short contracts. Sales 35tO
at 251ac.
ing In regard to future contracts The orders 10
buy on Southern account nave been heaVy ihis
week. as also have those to cover snort safes.
While we think as we'll as ever ol the luture ol
cotton we cannot see any good reason Tor undue
excitement just at present. The southwestern
rivers are now navigable and continuance OF
free receipts may be expected. There are lIo,ooo
bales of American cotton ahoat for Liverpool,
large portion Of which would arrive with change
The market has been active this week, and
prices have advanced to 251kc for uplands. Liv.
erpOol has not shown much variation. Arrival
cotton Is still offered at prices much less than
those on the spot. American cotton could nave
been bought yesterday at about il1id on ~ lne nass
OF mlddling, equivalent to 23Ac here. Those quo
tatiOns have drawn some orders from this side,
and more are likely to follow. Surats appear 10
us to he relatively cheaper, as tile difference be-
tween fair Dhollera and m!ddling orleans Is now
Sd. This difference is usually diminished as the
stock OF India declines and that Of America IN
creases. -
nIpoRT OF INDIA COTTON AT LIvERPooL-Svsz
CANAL.-We do not believe that much OF tie
India cotton will reach England through the
canal in sailing vessels. The risk OF the voyage
through the narrow Red Sea, 400 miles in length,
with its many reefs and few harbors, must pre-
vert the use of that route except for steamers u
steamers. and of such new ones ~ can be built IN
tme one quarter Of tie India crop will he received
in Europe via SueZ.
