CRESCENT OFFICE, No. "a CAHF STREET,
Monday Evening. October |, 1866,


CorroH.-The market has been very much ex-
ercised to-day by New York private kilograms,
which indicated q rapid and heavy advance in
rates of the leading staple in that market, as may
be readily inferred from the fact, that the P. NJ
dispatches quoted middling uplands OF 42@43c.,
and middling Orleans at 43944c. against S9c. for
middng uplands, and 4lc. for middling
Orleans on Saturday evening. But this
only includes kilograms that have been confirmed
whilst rumors were rife throughout the after
noon that prices had gone still higher, and that
middIing Orleans had sold at New York at 45c
previous to the close of business this evening
Offerings in oar market have been very light
throughout the day and prices have ruled more
irregular than we have perhaps ever noticed them
before. The sales footed up barely 1850 bales,
and the ruling figures showed an unsteady i'm
provement of 1c., 14c., and in exceptional cases
&c. ~ ii. on Saturdays figures. The market,
however is too unsettled and rates are too irregu
lar to establish reliable quotations. and we there
fore repeat Saturdays closing quotations, with
the above Qualifying remarks, that all parties in
terested may draw their own inference, viz:
Low ordinary 2G@28c. ordinary 29@3lc, good
ordinary 39@34c., low middng 35@38c., and
middling nominal.
