Commercial 9ltteIItgente.

Friday Evening" May 25 1866. !
CoTToy-The movement to-day has been re-
strcted TO 2l45 bales at prices steadily tending to
yesterdays outside quotations, The demand was
active and steady throughout, while the supply
was, if anything, of a more limited character
than heretofore. In fact. there are very few
even running lists upon the market at this
time, and most of the recent operations
have been confined to small lots at irregular
but constantly advancing prices The latest
adyices from New York are encouraging for
holders, while the almost unprecedented ad-
vance in the rates of gold and foreign exchange,
and the receipt Of continued unfayOrable advices
of the growing CROP uniformly indicate still higher
figures. We, however, do not feel justified in
altering yesterdays quotations, and would now
repeat them, with the remark that heavy pur-
chases of any class could be effected this evening
at the inside figures, viz: ordinary, 28GO30c.; good
ordinary, 32@33c.; low middng, 366337c.; and
middling, 4O04lc. ...
The aggregate sales for the week are 1850
bales against 5000 bales last week, and 5848 bales
the week previous. The net receipts for the week
are 1889 bales, against 5O93 bales last week, and
6472 bales the week previous The total
exports for the week are 1880 bales,
against 3494 bales last week, and 82G6
bales the week previous; and the stock on hand
and on shipboard not cleared, this evening, is

supply of Louisiana Sugar and Molasses is limited

advance in Gold caused some little excitement OIL
last Wednesday, but it has entirely subsidized, leav

FLoUR-The movement during the week ha
been of limited character. The supply on han,
was ample, but the heavy falling off in the deman,
from Alabama and Texas has compelled holders t
make concessions in order to effect sales, and tn
movement has been almost entirely confined Il
local dealers while even the latter have been pur
chasing cautiously. The weeks sales have beel
restricted to 47O4 bbls. at prices ranging iron
Sc so to 81 for fine 50 so to $40 for superfne, AM
llSIto SIS for extra to choice The market to-da.
