Friday Evening July 20 1885. : |
CorroS-Inereased lrmness has been the lead
ing feature of the market to-day. offerings of
good staple and of even running lists are exceed |
ingly light, and for these descriptions factors de-
manded still more stringent prices. Small and
irregular lots, and Cotton of inferior quality ruled
as heretofore, however, and the principal move
ment forthe day was in the latter assortments
The aggregate sales amounted to only HOO bales
divided among nine brokers, but some $50 bales
were entered for direct shipment to Europe on
planters account making in all about 1000 bales
which have been set apart for direct shipment on
account Of planters and factors, during the week.
The outside rates in yesterdays quotations have
been uniformly demanded for all grades above
good ordinary to-day, but the market is still IN
settled and we therefore repeat previous figures
as follows: Ordinary 2692Sc.; good ordinary
29@3lc low middlng 32@S4c., and middling
96037c The total sales for the week have been
1000 bales, against $500 bales last week, and ALSO
bales the week previous. Receipts have been l4fG
bales against 1876 bales last week and 1859 bales
the week previous. The aggregate exports have
footed up 9607 bales for the week, against 4476
bales last week and 9l34 bales the week previous
and the stock on hand and on shipboard not
cleared this evening is 9s,9O2 bales against lO6,874
bales last week. and 108 ,472 bales at the close of
the previous week. The exports for the pastweek

SUGAR AND MoLAssRs-The receipts for the pas
week comprise "a hhds Sugar from the coast ant
II hhds. of Sugar and 8 bbls, Of Molasses from
Texas. There have been no receipts since yester
day. The business done in Louisiana production
has been entirely of retail character, and quit
triaing at that; only few small lots were sol
at the following rates, viz: l29@l3c. for common
l45c, for fair Ice. for prime, l7c for yellow clar
fed and l73c. % b. for white do. The moyemen
in foreign Sugars has also been of limite
character and amounts to only 1870 hhds., in tw
lots within the range of the following quotations
viz: l23@l33c. for Nos. IL and Is. The supply 0
Louisiana Sugar and Molasses is nearly exhausted
but foreign Sugars are plenty, and there is scarce
any demand for either. In Molasses, the week
sales have been restricted to q bills of Louisian
and 400 bbls. of Cuba, at 48@52Bc. u gallon sol
mostly to distillers, The imports for the week IL
clude 40 hhds. and 1920 boxes of Sugar from Cubs
No MOlasses. The weeks exports amount to II
hhds. of Sugar and so bbls. of Molasses Their
have been no sales of any magnitude to-day.
ToBAooo-There has been a moderate inqur
throughout, but mostly on foreign account. Tn
supply on hand is fair, and the assortment is goot
while the prices offered are so much below tn
views of holders that they do not press their stocl
upon the market. Some few sales have howeYt
been made, all for the French government, an
amounting in the aggregate to 27s hhds. with
the range of the following quotations, viz: 4@5
for low refused, light and heavy; 5000 for goc
ditto; 7b@llc. for common leaf; l29l5c. for ia
ditto; 15@17c. for good ditto; 17@l9c. for fin
and 2O@25c y H. for choice in currency. Thel
has been the usual inquiry on foreign account
day, but we have heard of no large sales haVir
been made. Prices, however, remain fair at tt
above quotations. The weeks receipts inclu'
22l hhds., and the exports l60 hhds'
