WEEKLY REVIEW.
C1ft6n.-There has been nothing new in the cot
ton market Tor the week just closed. Prices have
ruled about the same, but The demand has been very
limited, and altogether we have had dull dragging
market. There is scarcity OF good cotton, which
everybody wants, and Il full stock of low common
which nobody seems anxious 10 have nj any price
The experience Of this year should be lesson ana
warning TO orr planters TO lcstow more care and
attention in picking and ginning their cotton. The
loss dirty and sandy cotton has been heavy this
year; but ii the next crop should be no beter tile
loss eGuction for poor cotton will be- immense
The report from the growing crop in North Caro-
lima Is not so good. Planters are complaining OF
too much rain The rket oPeInsn the first of the

the week about 400 bales. Wequ0te: Low middling.
