FROM the cotton circular of O. P.
Hunt Il Co., issued November 18th,
we quote as follows: "For several
weeks past, or until yesterday
our market, In sympathy with 9th
ers, has experienced an almost daily
decline. Middling, although quoted
at 8 7-16c, has been sold here
freely at SIC, and good middlng
as low as Sic There was really moth
ing in the situation to OCCASION these
extreme low figures fave the anxiety
Of factors to realize, and the urgent
and uuceas'ug pressure from the
country to sell. Trade has been good,
the demand active, consumption OF
the raw material larger than ever be-
fore known aud the margin between
this and consuming points wider than
usual. Indced the demand here has
been something terrific, aud had It not
been 80 freely met by our factors,
must have induced local advance ere
now. The Gales here footed up 5000,
10000, IL 1000 and $4,000 bales per day.
No matter how large the receipts,
there was demand for it sll, and the
daily arrivals we're absorbed rs fast as
exposed for sale. What the market Is
SONG to do We done pretend TO know.
We do know, however, that cotton is
cheap that manufacturers are all
making money at the price, and are
under remunerative contracts for
months to come hat there Is q bet
ter feeling in coal, iron, stocks, aud al
most every commodity known to com.

any further decline in our great South
ern STAPLE"
