TUESDAY EVENING March 81, 1868.
CoTToN-The seventh month of the COM
mercial year 1867 and 6s closes this evening
upon a stiff and smaller market The
rumors of reaction in Liverpool yesterday
to which we referred in our last were cor.
rect so far as a fractional decline; but the
early kilograms of to-day reported that
market firm and active; and nothing has
since come to hand calculated to weaken
prices. The stock in first hands here has
been so reduced, however that factors have
still further enhanced their figures, which
has caused partial cessation Of operations,
and the total sales to-day have been re-
stricted to 1890 bales, at full previous rates,
which we repeat as follows viz: ordinary
24@-c.; good ordinary 253@26c. low mid.
ding 265@-c.; and middling 27027Ac.
The P. NJ telegram announcing sales to-
day at ll4@ll3d for middling were received
at too late an hour to affect prices. The
total sales for the past three days footed up
1850 bales, against $500 bales for the cor
responding time last week.
