NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, November 2S.-There was
an hour of moderately active trading

then the market settled down into the
usual pre-hOliday dizziness. The dull
ness resulted in the congestion of the
gains which established in the
first hour. The tone was heavy after

tracts owe the holidays and this in
clinatiOn was the more pronounced

leave the city to be gone until Monday
next. The effect Of the preparations

pressing effect. The whole market was

False Packed Cotton.

The Kinston Free Press says that
at least ten Per cent of the cotton now
being marketed in that town is false
packed, that is sorry cotton is put
in the bale with a little good grade on
either side so that when the buyer
cuts into the bale to examine it he
sees only the good cotton. The law
makes it a felony to pack cotton in
a false ann and those who do so
and are convicted can be sent to the
pentientiary.-Greenville Reflector.
