Saturday Evening Sept q, 1855
CoTroN-There is no abatement whatever to
refer to in the demand TOR the leading staple, but
sales have fallen off to-day, nevertheless, and the
total operations barely amountt to $50 bales At
the opening of the market this morning there was
an unusually good inquiry, for Saturday, but the
offerings upon factors tables were exceedingly
light then, and SO continued throughout the day
while asking rates were very generally far above
our last quotations. The cable kilograms of last
night quoted Id. per pound advance in prices at
Liverpool yesterday, with sales for the week of
I04 900 bales, but the dispatches were ambiguous,
inasmuch as they represented l33 as The opening
rate for middng Upiands, but failed to give the
Il NJ. price, or the closing rate Most of the pro
minent brokers here have stood off to-day, as in
not afew cases, they had already exceeded their
limits, but it had no effect,whateyer and the mar
ket closed even sitter than yesterday, at pre-
yious quotations, but with a uniform tendency to
our outside figures. In the absence of any mate
rial alteration in rates, we, however, repeat as
follows, viz Ordinary 27@28e.; good or binary
3l032c.; low mddliug 34@35e., and middling
nominal at 3G@37c.
