Railroad and express shares are steat


A retrospective glance at u Cotton
market for the week which closed to-day
does not anord any very encouraging re-
Elections, and is anything but a tlattering
prospect. Still We are far from being
discouraged, and as far from believing
that prices OF the staple viii continue to
rule low, or that the influences now con-
trolling the markets Of New York can
always be triumphant. On Tuesday there
was some anxiety, and but few sales;
middling, lie. On Wednesday there was
some Improvement in the demand, but
none in price. Indeed, it was the other
way; I72gc wa the Offering, and lSc the
asking price. There were sales Of go
bales at and between these figures. TIN
market was stronger on Thursday, and
600 bales were sold at 1sc for middllngs,
q decided appreciation over the rates of
the day previous. Holders were much
encouraged, and ipdulged in high hopes
that the bottom had been reached. On
Friday The market wore the same hopeful
hue. Three hundred bales were sold,
and prices were maintained-l8e. for mid
uLAAEs ADk AtAAsee-AAAAAAtl al akBoAOhN Dh5NA
ness on the part of holders to sell. On Sat
urday the market was demoralized There
were no sales and prices could not be sscer-
tanned. To-day Monday there was really
no demand, and only some go bales were
forced of on a oasis of II to 17Ac for low
middiing. Holders are asking 1Sc for
tables of middling, but it is questionable
whether IKE could DO realized, as buy
ers are uncertain whether they will DO
justified in paying even that figure.
Among the sales were lG5 low middlings
at l7He. This lot was fully up to the
grade, and was sold as strict low mid
dlings-I7 bales low middlings at 17Hc.,
nad Is bales good ordinary at l5c.
To-day we received from II. Fitzgerald
& Co. a cotton stalk bearing boIls nearly
mll-sized. It comes from the plantation
Of Mr.. S. Demembrie, at his landing,
Mississippi, and is certainly the most
promising looking specimen we have yet
seen of the new crop.
Since writing the above we have been
handed by Mr.. C. p. Oakley, OF the Mis-
sissippi and Tennessee railroad, a cotton
boli fully open-the neecy staple hang
ing rom the boil just ready to pick.
This comes from the plantation of Mr..
Childress, Of Oakland, Miss, and is the
frst open boil of the new crop of iS7O-7l.
Our more southern exchanges have not
recorded anything Of the kind this season.
