CorToN MAnxEr.-S.les of the
week to date. about 20 to 25 bales
The best article brings IL cents
Some few bales touched with rust !,
aud consequently lc.fy, have only
brought s3S. We would adv ise
planters to put up their cotton in
good order, ia 450 pound bales if pos
cible, US the railroad now charges on
cotton at 450 lbs. per bale to New
York, and for any excess over that
weight, average an lditional charge
is made. We hope that next week
will find our streets lively with cotton
wagons and trade, aud, above all, a
free distribution Of the nrsdy&l.
