States, and 5,600 from Lisbon and Brazil, and the sales 
in the same time about 20,000 bags, of which only about 
2,000 were taken by Speculators, so that the stock has 
decreased about 5,000 Bags since our last report. The 
demand during the whole of last month has been rather 
languid, and prices have gradually declined, until they 
now rule 2d. to 3d. per lb. below our last quotations ; 
at this depression, there has latterly been more disposi- 
tion to purchase on the part of the Trade and Speculators, 
but holders, particularly of American Cottons, being 
generally disposed to effect sales before the new crop 
comes to market, prices do not improve ; yet as they are 
now, on the average, as low as at any period of the 
present year, and the state of the manufacture great and 
flourishing, it is probable that no further decline will 
take place ; but on the contrary, that a continuance of 
a fair demand, with a moderate degree of confidence on 
the part of the holders should readily produce some 
amendment.

usually very limited, and prices if anything are rather 
lower.
