Frost & Co., on Sea Island cotton in the Southern States, for the week ending October 23, is as follows : — The market has been quiet tliroughout the week, withmit any sales being reported. There was some demand at the prices at which the opening sales were made, viz: Fine 2Sc., Fully Fine 30c., and Extra Fine 32c., which if factors had con- sented to accept would have resulted in fairly large sales; but factors advanced their prices 2c, which refused to pay.
