RosIx-The market for strained has shown
considerable activity during the past week, anu
INCREASES to d large extent have been to ill
foreign orders (vessels now in port awaiting
carooes) No change has been made in price,
though the market has ruled firm, and to-day Is
strong with an upward feeling. The entire
stock of strained is now held by second hands,
for shipment to foreign markets, receivers
holding only few small lots. For 40. there
is a good enquiry, but the stock Is very hght,
and on this account transactions have been res
tricted, few small sales have been MADE du-
ring the week at fair margin above strained
No / and Pales are wanted, but there is none
in market and the receipts OF this years manu-
facture are yet very light, only few small lots
, have met sale at fair quotations. The receipts
! In the earlier part of the week were quite
/ heavy. owing to the distillers in the country
who have been holding back their stock having
shipped all to market; for the last three or four
/ DAYS they have been very light, and with ship
! ments the stock has been reduced; the amount

CoTTON-In the earlier part of the past week
there was fair demand for this staple from
shippers and under the influence OF this de-
mand. and small receipts, the market gradual
" moved to higher figures. For the past three
; or four DAYS less disposition has been shown
bv BUYERS to purchase, owing II the untaYor-
/ able adyices from Northern anG European mar
le+s. and the quotations of to-day show de
cline over last week of fully p OF cent. To-
dav Thursday at the close OF our report ths
undertone of the market is better, and although
