MONDAY EVENING. April g. 1868.
CoTToN-The sales to-day sum up, as re-
! ported, $3.50 bales. Early in the morniug
| buyers were surprised to ind that purchases
made late on Saturday, making the az
gregate Oi the days business 1000 bales, had
largely reduced the offerings on the market
Saturdays sales were on the basis of 29c for
good ordinary, 3Oc for low middGng, and
Sic for middllng.
good demand WAS soon iuaugurated,
and as factors were very firm under the in
tluence of the buOyauCy OF the New York
market where at noon the quotations were
3l86323c for upland to Gulf midliugs, they
oOpined very iull prizes.
The sales generally were on the following
basis: Good ordinary 30@365; low middling
3l0Sl5, and middling, which is scarce,
3261j3. From one TO two o'clock higher
prices were asked, but the market closed
quiet at quotations. A telegram from Liv-
erpoOl, l:20 P. NJ, states that market to be
active. Street quotations (the board of
brokers being closely were l2l@l2ld for up.
land and Orleans middliug respectively.
The impression abroad IS that the present
attitude of the New York market arises
from the fear of short supply for Northern
consumption. More than half the recent
receipts at this port are from the Arkansas
and White rivers
