Thursday Evening, MAY y, 1866 :
CorToS-There has been very steady demand
for the leading staple to-day, which would doubt.
less have resulted in heavy sales but for the re.
strictad character Of the supply and the unusual
stringency in prices. Transactions, nevertheless,
amount to POO bales, which were taken by II buy
ers, who represented the English, French Spanish
and Northern markets, the principal movement
having been for the New England mills. Prices
have undergone no quotable alteration since our
last, but they continue very firm, and in order to
fairly represent the market at the close of business
this evening we find it necessary to contract our
quotations, as purchases Of any magnitude cannot
be effected at yesterday inside figures And, in
fact, the tendency of the movement throughout
has been to the outside rates in our quotations,
which now rule as follows, viz Ordinary 2S@30c.,
good ordinary 32033c,; low middling 36@37c.,
aud midlIing io@nc.
