The market opens this morning with firm
feeling on the part Of holders owing to stead
Ter feeling and upward tendency of prices in
the Liverpool market; the demand is. how
ever. unworthy Of notice. buyers generally
claiming greater concessions than factors are

prospects. causes an Indifference on the part
Of buyers, and they are not disposed to pur-
chase at anything above their views, which are
from u to lie. below the prices of holders. The
receipts to-day will perhaps exceed those of
any day last week. and should the next cable
telegram report a declining mrrket, holders
will in some cases make reductions to effect
sales. The closing market in New York, for
future delivery. on Saturday reported cotton
as active but somewhat lower. We quote the
market to-day nominal at the following prices
