5000 bales at irregular prices, requiring only

ding 2l@2l4, and strict middliug 2l5022.
Notwithstanding the depressing tenor of
the Liverpool accounts, the market opened
with fair inquiry, and a moderate business
was done in the early part of the day at fig
ures leaning to inside rates, but subsequently
an advance in gold and foreign exchange,
together with the limited extent of the sup
ply offering, impaired more frmness to
prices, and most of the sales were at the
above quotations. Strict good ordinary
was scarce and in request aud if white and
even running lists, with fair staple, would
have commanded fraction more than the
outside figures for that grade. There were
orders pending for low niddling at 20c.,
which the parties were unable to fill. Mid
ding was sold at 2lc.
