771 ; Eric, 39 ; Illinois Central, Si;- No change
to note in the money market to-day. The advance
to 1051 to 106 per cent. on London in the ex-

figures, the latest sales being about 1051 for leading
names. The Cotton Market was less buoyant, and
closed rather in favour of purchasers ; the sales
reached about 1,500 bales, closing on the basis of
about 12,:ic for middling Uplands. Flour heavy,
and rather easier for shipment of brands of super-
fine State and Western, while extra were steady.

common lots of spring. White, sales active.
