PENSACOLA, March 11.
Cotton.- During the last week a considerable quantity of Cotton has come to market. Among that
particularly entitled to notice, were two lots raised on Chipola, and on Holme’s Valley; these
parcels we are informed were of excellent quality, and brought the highest market price. Sales
have been made this week at 10 ½ to 12 cents, and about nine days since, three bales of first
rate, (the same mark as that which obtained the prize last season) brought 12 ¼ cents.
