SATURDAY EvEFnSG, January Il. ls5s
| CorTON-The sales to-day amounted to 1000
| bales, at a further advance of &c. ON all de.
sirabie descriptions. We now quote ordi-
nary at l24@l2sc.; good ordinary at l3B@
| Ia low middliRg at l4l0l5; middling at
| l5lMl54, and strict middling at I5l6l6.
some authorities quote middllns at l59@
| l54, and good ordinary at l3l0l4l, predi-
eating their figures on actual sales. There
was in fact considerable irregularity in the
prices paid, owing 10 the scarcity Of certain
descriptions and the necessities of buyers;
but nevertheless we regard our own quota
| tiOns as representing the general mark ct
more correctly. The supply on sale was
| quite inadequate to the demand, which, with
the advance at Liverpool and New York,
and the course of foreign exchange, fully
accounts for the improvement nO.ed above.
The business would undoubtedly have been
much greater had more scope been afforded
to purchasers.

vented operations on the landing to-day.
