total receipts for the seven days have reach
ed 45,748 bales AGAINST 52,676 bales last

which 1929 bales were to Great Britain,
$50 bales to France, and $3.50 bales to the

pared with the corresponding week of last
season, there is decrease in the exports
this week of 81, 125 bales, while the stocks
are "a, 428 bales SIS than they were at this
time year ago. We make the following
extracts from the Chronicle at hand:
Financial affairs the past week, although
stesdily gaining, have not shown any rapid
or marked improvement; consequently COM
mercial interests have continued without
much apparent life, the difficulties In the
way of the movement of merchandise being
aggravated by this delayed recovery in
monetary circles. Cotton has shared in the
general stsgnation, showing however but
slight fluctuations, though the strength and
charac. er OF the demand has been variable.
Monday there was good inquiry for ex-
port, but little else was done. Tuesday
was dull. Wednesday and Thursday there
was more doing for expoIt, with fair BUSH
ness for consumption. To-day shippers
were embarrassed by the lower rates for
gold and exchange, while spinners purchased
sparingly, and as result prices fell off hc.
Offerings during the week have been limited,
and Liverpool has been active and higher,
while the receipts have averaged scarcely
facts have supported the market, notwith-
standing the actual business done has been
so small. For future delivery, until to-day,
increased strength has been developed for
the early months, with a good degree of
activity, while the later months have varied
but little, not showing any considerable
activity. In fact, there has been little dis
position TO speculate upon the general re-
suit of the crop. But for is5and the next
two months there has been q strong inclina-
ton to secure supplies, and we are under
the impression that most Of the purchases
for October, November and December have
been by parties who will want the cotton.
To-day the market was dull and weak, the
whole turn of affairs being toward lower
prices, and litter Change there was further
decline, the latest prices after Change being
II 10. 80 for October, II 5-16 for December,
17s for January, II 16 for February, and
II q 80 for March, with o large business
doing. The total sales for forward delivery
for the week are 1900 bales, including =.
free on board. For immediate delivery the
total sales foot up this week 9,643 bales, In
Guiding 4,247 for export, 5,3l8 for consump-
ton, rs for speculation, and - In transit.
OF the above 594 bales we're to arrive.
BOMBAY SHIPMENTS. Accord ding to our
cable dispatch received to-day, there has
been no cotton shipped fIom Bombay to
Great BRIAN the past week and 900 bales
to the continent, while the receipts at Bonn
bay during the same time have been 5000
bales. Compared with last year there is an
increase of 1000 bales this year in the
weeks shipments from Bombay to all Of
Europe and that the total movement since
Jan. 1 shows a decrease In shipments of
5000 bales compared with the correspond
ing period of 1872.
