The market is firm, but the demand is chiefly for fine- libred cotton 19'7. to 20d., and in consequence the chief sales are Barbados and St. Kitts, the latter being preferred on account of its extra fineness. Lower qualities from the Leeward Islands and the finer sorts from St. Vincent are neglected at the moment, but we are of the opinion, judging from crop reports, that prices will remain firm throughout the season. The report of Messrs. Henry W. Frost & Co., on Sea Island cotton in the Southern States, for the week ending March 29, is as follows:— The market has been quiet throughout the week, with sales of 150 bales of off cotton, and in the absence of any further demand remains unchanged and we have only to .confirm our previous advices and quotations. We quote, viz: Extra Fine 28c. to 29c. = IGrf. to 16id. , & 5 per cent Fully Fine 26c. to 27c. = 14|d. to iBirf. „ „ „ „ Fine = 14>rf. „ „ ,,, „ Extra Fine off) „, i oi j in preparation / ?= " " " " r'*"y^^'"t"'^|l8c, 10UtollH. „ „ ,, ., in preparationj - .
