COTTON.
! The receipts of cotton to-day did not
vary much from four hundred bales.
The market was weak, in sympathy
with reports from the great cities and ports
| of the country. The nett receipts at all the
ports exceeded those of last year "a 754
bales, and the stock on hand is greater than
year ago. The reports from the cotton
States are not as dlscouraging as q month
ago, and, all in ALL there is a feeling that
| the crop will not prove as short as many
anticipated it would be. Our quotations
remain unchanged, and it is hoped and be-
lieved prices will not decline in this market.
