n1iet and ca ier and the prices of the lower
qualities declined steadily. The demand was
principally Tor the better sorts, particularly sor
good middling and above. which are to some
extent scarce, while the stock of the lower
grades is quite liberal. The enormous receipts
at theports have weakened matters considera-
bly, notwithstanding the cold spell and frost
reports, and buyers are exercising great deal
of caution and are not anxious to take the large
assortment of poor cottons to be fonnd on the
market The market closed to-day quiet and
easy with prices off fully 1,160ssc lower than
last week on grades of good middling and be-
low. The total sales for the week were t2,775
