New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-04-09
COMMERCIAL.


"WEDNESDAY EVENING. April 8, 1868.
Co1roS-Sales to-day have been restricted
to only 200 bales. affording no basis for quo
tations, which We are again compelled to
omit. The market opened with good in
quiry, though buyers and sellers did not
agree il their views; the early Liverpool
telegram noted sales os 10 060 bales at l2k1
l24d for upland, with l23@l24d for Orleans
middliug, an advance on yesterdays prices.
Before noon the 1870 Z. n. dispatches an
nuOunced decline, uplands being quoted
II to I'D, and ll3d to arrive.
Before the close of business accounts to
L. Nj. came to hand, quoting uplands liz,
and Orleans l2sd, in ide figures, the market
heavy, with sales of12,00 bales. Purchases
last week in this market were based on ex-
pectutiOns of material advance abroad,
while on Saturday factors held firmly with
the sane view of the future.
These fluctuations with an evident ten
dency toward lowe rather than higher fig
ures have completely unsettled our market
for the time. New York quotations today
were CSC for uplands, 2Sl@2Slc for Mobile
and Orleans middlings. Market quiet.
