tensifed, If possible, by the political situation,
but prices show a slight gain over last evening
and the undertone remains distinctly firm

tributing toward the delayed marketing OF cot
ton. though many of our Correspondents are
disposed to beltle its influence. Foreign freight
is working daily easier.
