COTTON.

THERE Is little worthy Of mention IN the cot.
on market to-day. The shipments abroad are
liberal aud the receipts in Liverpool show un.
prccedenied arrivals from India, which will
have tendency 10 keep prices firm advancing
there as wen MS here Although cotton from
America Is pr, ferfcd on account of superior
quality, the abundant supplies from other Coun-
tries must have It's cnecton the markets abroad,
aud which will also have It's influence on prices
In this uniry. Unless there should bc great
falling oil In receipts from other countries there
is little prospect of any material advance In the
prices of tn staple in America, The arrivals In
this city are too mcaPrc to mention, aud prices
here atc nominal ut former quotations.
