CoTTOS.-The m rkct gradually hardened
day by DAY during the week until yesterday
when it became weak and easier, buyers refus-
ing to purchase at the market quotation, but
sellers remained firm in their views and the
transactions of the day, though very small, were
! fully up to the present quotations. TO day the
market is quiet and nominal, and though we
ticpate no immediate decline, vet we think the
market will remain at, or near the present quo
tations. The receipts have been only moderate
with shipments about as equal, and the stock in
market is nearly the same given in our last
review. The ceipts at all ports show a small
increase over last week and for the present week
reach 1868 bales against 39,169 bales for last
week, 1892 bales the previous week, and 30 ,0G3
bales thrc weeks since, making the total re-
ceipts since the first of September, 1871, o,42T ;,
947 bales against 1912, 231 bales for the pc
Rod of 1SIO-'11, showing a decrease since Sep
TENDER list this year, of 884, PSI bales. The ex-
ports for the week reach total of 5000 bales,
of which 40,7S6 were to Great Britain, 1,T19 to
France, and 18Th to rest of the Continent,
while the stocks made 397 ,t9l bales.
The exports from this port for the month of
March, 1872, were ,121 bales against ,2S5 bales
