tons Of sugar This is said to be the first
steamer that has ever come from the Phil

brings what is believed to be the largest

failure of the leading crops. this year is estl-
mated by some as high as $NO,QQO, 0VOi

COTTON,
The receipts to-day We're three hundred
bales The demand was good, but prices
remain unchanged. BY referring to our
quotations for the past two weeks it will be
seen that spot cotton has not changed in price
in New York, New Orleans, Galveston, st.

principal receiving points in this country,
which would indicate disposition on the

opinion is beginning to obtain that
prices will not vary much from the
present until after the HOLIDAYS.
