Hubbard. Price & Co.’s cotton circular says: ’’Receipts of the ports continue to be the con trolling influence in the market, and the move ment to-day being lighter, the market has, in consequence, ruled somewhat higher, though the narrow ness of speculation is still apparent and the change In price small. The distribution of the world's supply is the feature of the situa tion now coming into consideration, and tho fact that Liverpool has Imported and has en route more than at this time last year, is an argument in favor of the theory thit that market must soon be relatively cheaper than as present compared with New York, aud tends to encourage those who have bought futures h re against sales abroad. Advices from Memphis, Augusta aud St. Louis show that interior re ceipts there to-day are considerably in excess of what they were at the corresponding date last year, anil assure a large interior movement next Friday. ” Galveston, Dec. 10.—Cotton quiet; middling 9 11-16 c; net receipts 7,516 bales, gross 7,518; sales 518 bales; stock 57.487 bales; exports, to tne continent 480 bales, coastwise 2,250.
