CoTroE-There has been a very active and gen
al inquiry to-day for the leading staple, which
as resulted in sales of 3675 bales, at an advance
fully lc. per pound upon yesterdays quotations.
offerings exhibited some increase, but they were
insufficient, however, and not assorted to suit the
syiews of a majority of buyers In the absence of
Hater favorable advces from the North or from
Europe, it may be well to state that the
increased inquiry to-day was exclusively due to
the very heavy falling off in receipts the unfavor
able advices Of the growing crop, and the disas
trous results apprehended on account of the Gre
vases. The movement was participated in by
fourteen brokers, three of whom took 1000 bales.
We have revised cur figures to correspond with
the improvement, and now quote ordinary nomi-
nal, good ordinary at 3O@31c., low middling at 80
@3lc., and middling at 35037c. The upward ten
a,ncy of foreign exchange, taken in connection
with the auxiIiaries referred to above, tended con
siderably to the advantage of factors. The total
sales for the week foot up 9ll2 bales against 584S
bales last week, and 5492 bales the week previous.
The net receipts for the week amount to only G472
bales, against 9242 bales last week, and l62O
bales the week previous. The exports for the
week were $685. bales, against 1862 bales last week
on hand and on shipboard this evening is 155 ,G45
bales against l57 643 bales last week and 1876 658
bales at the close of the previous week. The eX-
ports for the past week have been divided as fol-
lows, viz: 1914 bales for Liverpool l7l3 bales for
