Tuesday Evening, May ), 1860 )
CoTToN-The steamship Chinas accounts two
days later than the Peruyian's, have tended some
what to unsettle the market, and sales to-day
have been restricted to 537 bales, divided among
five brokers' The news being to the evening of
the Goth ult., however, including only the opera
tons of one business day. Saturday the 28th, as
the previous intelligence was made up TO the close
of Friday, the 9th. The fact that the Ghinas
adyices exhibited some evidence Of a reaction at
Liverpool, has been used by buyers, however as
JUSTIFICATION for demanding renewed concessions,
but in order to ascertain how far they have sue
ceeded it is only necessary to refer to the extent
Of the actual sales since our last. Most factors
still manifest the utmost Indifference to parting
with their present supplies, while the very limited
number who may find it incumbent upon them to
realize under the general asking rates, take
especial care to offer only what may be barely
efficient to meet immediate or pressing wants.
Buyers have reported purchases to-day at de-
cline on previous quotations, but the movement
was of too restricted character to justify any
alteration in figures, and we would, therefore, re.
peat yesterday s rates, with the remark that they
are merely nominal, and only intended for future
reference, as reliable quotations cannot be OBJ
tanned in the present condition of the market, viz
middling 33035c. and middling at 36@37c.
