TEE COTTON MARKET yesterday was
active: ths inquiry was good and hold
ers were very firm, so that prices show
some improvement; closed with 8 firm
feeling. There was an inquiry for low
cOttOns, which was not to be found in
sufficient quantity. The New York tel
egrsms helped principally to produce
the more confident condition of the mar
ket-at nom the telegram reported "a
fifm market with cotton generally held
higher" closed steady at an advance OF

The New York Bulletin, Of Novem-
nan. 10th, reports: The market
for spots has been unusually quiet,
even for the generally fiat cOndi-
ron OF affairs so long current, and
tha entire position is simply NOM
fDaI. No great changes have been es-
tsblished on values, out they sr5 GER
taiuly weak, and with further consider !
able additions TO the supply a good
many holders are evidently quite anX-
i0us to sell, especially from landing par
GELS on pier some pretty cheap parcels
could have been secured to-day. For
e., IN kilograms show nothing particu- |
Esr'v new o. a depressing character, but
gI-n fail to offer announcement, and /
.axn7rl ers are not credited with single /
r1uTehss,a up to the close OF regular
mons. sAdvices from the south by
mail c0ntinue to speak encOuTaglngly, |
and crop estimates appear 20 be |
increasing. TIE arrivals at tie ports |
To-day are very large. For future de-
livery the market has been tame |
throughout. At the opening there was |
a faint show Of firmuess, but under free |
1fferiugs this quickly disappeared, aud |
extreme prices were modified. During |
TIE latter part OF the day buyers and |
sellers were apart to s very moderate /
extent, and, cOntending somewhat stub |
b0ruly for the advantage, there was
not much business accomplished, the
close showing a quiet tone, with exact
values a little doubtful, though not con-
sidered by any means strong, in view
81 the large receipts at the ports. Too
much cotton still appears to be the 7
principal complaint Of the market, no
new features developing for the day. 1
In its weekly review" the same paper /
saws sithe market is doubtful and unsatis- /
factory, aud sensitive to every influence /
Free supplies have inside weak prices /
Exporters have continued to complain |
n, the absence of margins and generally /

purchases were moderate, though 8

sbiumeut on short notices st shade |
easier than stock could be obtained
from the tables, and il is probable that
ne foreign outlet has really taken I
larger supplies than the simple record OF
sales would indicate. While the po- /
.Ition has at all times devel- |
aned q sensitive tone, II gave way |
more resdily than Il strengthened,
and the Indications Of any extra
,Tassura to realize would undOubt- |

Uoiuts. Those operators impressed with |
