CoTToN-The sales to-day amounted to $500
bales, at irregular and lower prices. We now

ding at 2lRQ1-c., and strict middling at
22@-c.
The market opened with limited de.
mand. and at decidedly easier prices; but
later in the day, under the influence of en-
couraging kilograms from New York, it as
sumed more frmness, and closed at about
the above figures. Some buyers however
quote rather higher, putting low middling
at 204@2lc., and middling at 2l8622c.,
while others quote middling at 2l@2l3c.

up $4,000 bales taken partly for foreign ex-
port and partly for the North. The receipts
