Tuesday Evening, May i, 1866. ; |
Corrosive have had advces by two arrivals
from Europe since closing our last report of the
market, viz: the Hibernan's news of the 10th
ult., two days later, and the Scotias accounts to
the 22d ult two days still later. AS is usual in
the first or early intelligence forwarded by tele
graph on the arrival of transatlantic steamships,
however, the reports thus far received by the
above are vague and unsatisfactory, but enough
has come to hand to satisfy dealers that the Liver
pool market was firm and steady on the 22d of
April, at the advance previously reported. Our
market opened weak this morning, and no sales
worthy of notice had transpired up to meridian
The Scotias advices, as published in the evening
papers, had reassuring effect however, and the
few operations which subsequently transpired
were at very firm and perhaps higher prices than
the ruling figures of yesterday. The total move
ment, however, amounted to only ll5O bales,
which was divided among ten buyers. The mar
ket is still too unsettled to obtain reliable quota
tons, but we would remark, as an lndicauon OF
the movement, that Good Ordinary has been sold
at 3O@3Ic., and Low Middling at S3934e
