large activity on the part Of foreign consum-
ers There is now on the way to Liverpool
$40 900 bales OF American cotton, which -
materially in excess OF the quantity ahoat

tation to sell for short account. The market

points. Port receipts fell below expectations:
while the weather forecast was considered
unfavorable.
