Saturday Evening, July II, 1866
CoTToN-The market opened with fair inquiry
this morning, and some small sales transpired at
irregular figures, but within the range of our last
quotations. At an early hour the steamship Her
mans advices, three days later from Liverpool,
were received over the wires, however, and as
they were favorably interpreted by all parties,
they Immediately impaired increased strength to
the movement in the staple. Most factors de-
manded enhanced rates; while some appeared to
be Indifferent about naming price, or exhibiting
| their samples. very active and general inquiry
soon became noticeable, however, and buyers of
tered to operate freely at prices which they had
previously refused to pay. The result was that
the sales for the day amounted to 2l00 bales divi-
ded among ten brokers, and including two lists
bought long after the usual hour for closing bust
ness. We do not at present deem it advisable to
alter our previous quotations, but would remark
that prices rapidly incline to our outside figures,
viz: Ordinary 25@2Sc.; good ordinary 2903lc.;
low mddling 33834c., and middling 35@37e.
