Cotton.--We noticed in our last semi-weekly review; sales, during the early part of the week, of 150 bales for future delivery at 8½a8¾c for middling.
We have not heard of a sale from the limited stock offering on the spot.
The receipts since the 24th inst. comprise 7 bales, against 33,330 bales during the corresponding period last year.
As the receipts are for transhipment, we add them to the exports — leaving on hand a stock of 11,907 bales, against 338,175 same time last year.
The entire receipts reported since the 31st Augustare 2,593 bales, against 933,650 same time last year.
Exported, 804, against 669,420 last year, of which 399,640 were to
