Wednesday Evening. August i, 1866. !
CoTToN-The market in the leading staple has
disclosed no important alteration of any kind to-
day. A. telegram reporting the Liverpool market
firm on the 3Oth nit. was received in due time for
publication in the evening papers; but the news
has had very little effect as factors had generally
advanced their figures two days ago to a point
which still appears to be beyond the limits of a
majority of buyers. There ias nevertheless, some
inquiry noticeable, and $50 bales were taken by
four brokers, at full previous figures. AS hereto
fore, some discrepancies exist between the ruling
rates for small and irregular lots, and those for
even running lists and for Cotton of good staple
and quality, but the tendency of the market CON
tinues steadily upward and we repeat yesterday Is
quotations with the remark that prices still incline
to the outside figures, viz: Ordinary 27@29c.,
good ordinary 3l@33c., low middlingi 34@96c.,
and middling 37@3sc.
