moderate offerings and fair demand Most nae
tors, however, have advanced their asking rates
above the limits of brokers, which has the effect
for the present of restricting operations. Sales to-
dav have slightly exceeded 1000 slesnevertheless,
which is doing very well for the middle of August.
Il is hardly necessary to add that prices are steadily
tending upward as most buyers acknowledge
that they are now paying 2@Se. y ID. over their
offering rates at the opening of the week, but as
we have taken no notice of such offers, and have
not advanced or reduced our quotations from day
to day on reported aggregate sales of 8, or 500
bales, it does not become necessaryfor US to make
any material variation now, our figures for some
time past having been the uniform asking rates,
below which no eyen-running lists of Cotton, or
round lists of good staple could have been, at any
time, readily obtained. The purchases today
have been participated in by eleven
brokers, and the market closed with an
upward tendency all round, but especially for
the better grades, at the subjoined quotations,
which are the same as those published this morn,
ing with the exception of lie. advance in the out
side rate for low mdding, viz: Ordinary 25@27o.,
good ordinary 29@30c., low u,iddling 32@34c., and
middling 35@36c. The total sales for the week
amounted to $3.50 bales, against 1926 bales last
week, and 1850 bales the week previous. The net
receipts for the week have footed up 1874 bales,
against 1906 bales last week. showing an increase Of
36S bales, and 1T45 bales the week previous. The
aggregate exports for the week have been 92l9
bales, against 637S bales last week and 7497 bales
the week previous; and the stock on hand and
on shipboard this evening il 76125 bales, against
So 695 bales last week and 49, 25 bales at the close
