This year the pricas in the cotton market ruled very low; and in view of the port of the good American Botton crop, the market etill has a downward tendency. The yarn mide in Bozkay dependa for its sale mostly on the China marketa, where the price of the artis cortainly auzot be said to be high. In view of the low rates of ontbon and still lower moles of yarn in Chinn markets, and in view of the competition of mill-owners, it might reasonably to exposted that the prices of yarn would be moderate, if not low, in Hambay. Beat, strange to us, the contrary, has been the co80 during the past for days, and the rates of Of yora en bu justly called "top rates." course, this meade proft to the mill ownATE but it remains to be coon whether the wind blow any good to the merchants. It How wot at prosent rem that the merchants will be much beacted. The prices in Chins being. low and the demand snail, swing to the diall ness in the workei, zhvnd merchants, intend of taking the chance of a rise in prices in China and expense of shipmost, sali thoir bales in Bombay a very high rates. The market in Hongkong urtainly cannot be said to be brisk; but it is my that the raports of the large purchases by Bombay merchants may produce some taporary influônce there. Until Tues- day the reports of sale in Hongkong were not racy favourable, the sales of the weak being 3,000 bales, and those of the fortnight 50,000 bales; but on that day telegrams were re- coived to the effect that the demand was good and prices increasing. This is good news, tut some of the merebante qualified to give their opinion on the enbject anticipate that, as calm Mucceeds storm, there will surely be a lull in the market after a short rise. The will agents all forward deliveries; and even if the price of cotton rise, they will prodt by the pressat entan; but the same cannot be said with certainty about merchants. Now-a- days the Chinese moreboats also koop them- selves as well informed shout the American out- fon crops a marchants in Bombay, and here. fore they are not likely to buy yarn at high; pricas, anies the cotton prices also go up.
