commercial article says: The market is little
altered. Prices steady; business limited.
Many sellers are well fortified with orders
which they have taken during the past fort
night. There is little indication of pressure to
sell. The fact is developing that the demand
| for goods and yarns have been badly influenced
| by the abundant supply of cotton and the con-
| slant expectation that lower prices will prevail
| here. Last fortnight business seems to have
| resulted partly from needy sellers accepting
lower prices, and partly from an increase in
| wants. Yarn was very quiet. The business
| yesterday, did not reach Tuesdays average.
Export inquiry is poor. Sales of cloth are
mostly smooth. Inquiry for most kinds of
India goods is poor Best shirtings
neglected. Sales made fortnight ago were
sufficient to keep prices steady. There is little
inquiry for jacconets. Orders are largely
| moderate sales. Lower reeds quiet, with steady
demand, There is fair inquiry for favorite
makes of heavy goods"

did not fully hold it at the close Our bulls,
| therefore, said Liverpool was no good, and at

| decline. This was soon checked, however, but
| with more strength came extreme dullness. and

yet the market could not remain stationary,
and as prices would not go down further. they
| improved little on demand to cover contracts,

this account. Weather reports from the south
were generally satisfactory, but there were
heavy rains in the valley of the Lower Msss-
sippi which may do damage. The crop move
