COTTON.

There was q decline of lie cent to-day,
which was largely due to the drop in LiV-
erpool. The tone was reported quiet, ana
the transactions 122 bales. While there is
not a great deal of scrambling al present
for cotton, il is because of the fact that
buyers are unable 10 pay what holders are
asking, so that efforts 10 get cotton are not
frequent. The sales which are being made
at present are said to be on a higher basis
than quotations. The receipts are less by
1900 bales than they were the same day
last year.
The following were the official spot quo
tatious, at the close of the market, at the
