On Wednes- day buyers appear to have come to the conclu- sion that prices must advance considerably ln Europe as soon as the decrease in our receipts becomes known, and entered the market with fresh vigor, and this same feeling still animates them. The sales have in consequence reached IT, 400 bales, of which 6200 bales were sold to- day, making total for the week of24 00O bales. The purchases have been principally for Eng land. France and the South of Europe, Ameri- can buyers having operated but sparingly. Pri- ces have felt the influence of this feeling of con- 6dence and have gradually stffened, and we make corresponding alteration in our figures:
