CRESCENT OFFICE, No. ~ CANT STREET,
Monday Evening, April 80, 1866.


CoTroy-The market has been considerably
strengthened to-day by the adyices from Europe,
received by the steamships Herman and Alemania.
Sales Of Cotton at Liverpool on the 18th and 18th
inst are reported at "a 900 bales, at advance Of
Id f3 b. 1t is hardly necessary to say that the in
telligence from the other side has influenced fac
tors here to advance their rates nasmuch as prices
paid in the morning showed an improvement of
fully 2G03e ~ H., and those ruling this evening
disclosed an advance of 304c. q ID, as compared
with the irregular and irresponsible figures given
by some operators during the past week,
of which, however, we have sCrupulously
avoided taking any notice whatever. Offer
ings during the day have shown no marked
increase and sales have been restricted to
1902 bales, divided among ten buyers Having
deemed iniudcious to offer quotations during the
latter part of the past week, with average sales of
only 1856 bales per day, for the whole week, it
cannot be expected that the subsequent movement
would Justify any attempt to present reliable or
even closely approximating figures this evening,
At the same time it is due to parties interested to
state that good ordinary Cotton has been sold to-
day ct 3Oc., and low middlng Cotton at 33c y ID.
Offerings, however, have been of a restricted
character throughout, and orders of any magni=
tude could not have been filed at the above figures
which in view of the heavy decline reported in
Foreign Exchange, certainly looks like cotton has
still some special value irrespective of fluctuations
in Gold Exchange and rumOrs Of European wars
