On Wednesday, buyers again came forward with unabated spirit, and although prices were maintained with continued firmness, the sales amounted to $500 bales. There was no ma terial change on Thursday, the demand 5elng still good and prices hrner, particularly for the higher grades, the sa cs embracing l2,500 bales. Yesterday, although on the eve of the receipt of later news from Europe, tie market exhibit ed continued animation, and although the better qualities were held at rather sufler prices, the transactions embraced barely l2,000 bales. This makes an aggregate for the three days of 38,000 bales and total for the week of S0,000 or nearly double the amount of the arrivals.
