SATURDAY evening" Oct. 10, 1900. ,
CoTToN-The market has been exceedingly ex-
ercsed to-day by the confirmation Of the previous
reports of higher rates at Liverpool as well as by
advices of rapid and heavy advance in prices at
New York. Factors still further enhance their
asking figures, and although the offerings in the
morning we're light, the upward movement in the
rates superinduced better supply, and the sales
for the day footed up 5000 bales, of which three
brokers took $500 bales. The demand has been
of more general character than on any previous
day since the opening of the season, and the pur-
chases have included operations for France,
Spain, England and the Eastern States. The prices
paid throughout the day uniformly inclined to the
outside figures in yesterdays quotations. while
further advance of lc. per Ii has been realized
upon all grades above ordinary, as the demand
generally tended to the better cassifications. We
have again revised our figures and now quote ::
Low ordinary at 26@29c ordinary 3l@433c; good
ordinary 36@37c; low mddling 38@39c. and
middling at 4l@42c.
