a limited inquiry, and has exhibited only moderate
animation Throughout The supply ample to
meet ordinary requirements, and most factors
eynced increased anxiety 20 realize, but the insauer
able obstacles in the way Of placing exchange, in
neclon with the stringent pretensiOn5 OF holders,
t1ertcd an influence decidedly adverse 10 heavy
operations Under these circumstance, the days
transactions were rather light, comprising at the
close barely 299O bales eleven brokers participating
in the business. Prices irregular throughout
but the whole in favor Of sellers, low middling
selling in most instances on the basis of Us. g &c,
while middliug commanded &c. g2sc. The market
however closed completely unsettled that we
are again Obliged to refrain from giving definite quo
