COTTON.

THE tone of the cotton market all over
the country is dull In New Orleans and
Galveston spots have declined an eighth of
a cent, and in New York prices are nom
inal ut former quotations. While there has
been no change in st. Louis, the market
there is dull and sales light, as they are all
over the country. AS the HERALD has pre-
dicted, there is an inactivity in cotton now
and which will probably continue until
some days after the new year. But we still
maintain that prices will advance later in
the season, but will never attain figure
which will justify parties buying, paying
interest on money, warehouse charges and
other expenses. That any one will
ever roll in luxurious wealth by holding
spot cotton for better prices is problematical,
unless he holds enough to control the
worlds demand and supply.
The tone of the market in Liverpool is
firm, but without change. Middlings are
