CHARLESTON, June 6.— Cotton. —After a week
marked by great fluctuations in prices, which the
past history of the Cotton trade affords but few
examples, the market closed with a considerable de
gree of firmness. First came the accounts by the
Africa, which were soon followed by those of the
JBaltic, which materially effected prices and impair
ed, if they did not destroy all confidence in the ar
tjc - the advices, however, receieved subsequently
by the Canada, revived the drooping hopes
of sen' ers > 311 d at once gave tone to the mar
ket an'd materially enhanced the value of
the article -At the" time we closed our re
port Middling Fair was held at 9j cents. The
present week o,"' cne<i Wltli a comparatively good
demand from the tfade, but buyers were una
ble to make much process m consequence of the
limited supply offering an'd the> ' ery sti ingent terms
demanded by holders, portion was furter
strengthed by the arrival on .Monday pf the steamer
Washington, with late European* intelligence. - the
transactions from the opening of i.he week pp to the
dose of business on Wednesday, were made#* gra
dually strengthening prices, and resulted ip- wC
aggregate to upwards of 4200 bales, establishing
finally an improvement of a full 2c. over for
mer prices, and bringing such qualities as we are
able to quote up to the following standard of valua
tion, viz: low middling to good middling 8j aflj;
middling fair, 9] a 91, and fair and fully fair, 9| a 10c.
The market opened yesterday with the Asia s advi
ces at hand, and although they are decidedly un
favorable, they have made no impression on the
better qualities, wh'.h, as we said before, are very
scarce, and are held fully up to the above standard,
while the lower grades are neglected, and are alto
gether nominal. The sales were limited to about
700 bales, making the aggregate transactions for
the week of 4847 bales, against the receipt in the
same of 2973 bales.
The sales were as follows: 26 at 6; 100 at 6}; 96 at
180 at

U 2 at 9|; 660 at 9i; 134 at 9f; 429 at 92; 73 at
and 45 bales at 10 cents. There has been an
Increased demand for the qualities classed under
the head of Long Cotton, and the aggregate trans
tions foot up 350 a 400 bales. The lower qualities
]have been neglected, and prices are depressed, but
\ye have no positive change to record The sales
'em brace extremes ranging from 19 to 49 cents, and
upvrprds as in quality.
