Manchester, Feb. THE Guardian, in its
| commercial article says "A very small bust

| were refused, while in others. where there
was anxiety for business, they were accepted.
| The position OF cotton is depressing There
was some Indian inquiry, but 1t was mostly i'm.
| practicable The demand for printing cloths
| was moderate. Prices were against sellers
| There was little buying for Brazil and some
| OF the smaller South American markets.
Yarns were slow, but prices were firm"

New York Feb. 7.-Riordan & Co say of
cotton to-day: The port receipts to-day

bales against 23,659 bales this day last week
and II, $40 this day last year. The first report

But our opening was at an advance of }
| points, the first sales of March being at
