Thursday was also favorable, much better feel

during the three first days Of the week at an
average advance in prices of aQlc. y ID. Subse-
auently, however, counter movement in the
European and Northern markets caused partial
suspension of operations at this point and trans
actions for the past three days cannot be reported
as much better than nominal. while quotations
have reached to the ruling figures OF the previous
week. For better understanding OF the recent
movement and present condition OF the market,
we append some extracts from our daily returns,

reaction at Liverpool and New York at hand this
morning. our market opened with better feeling,
and for time. factors felt confident OF realizing
satisfactory prices The demand also was OF more
previous, and the supply. though not heavy, indi-
Gated moderate increase. In this condi-
ton of the market, and under the Influences re-
ferred to, some 1900 bales changed hands at an
rates at the close of the previous week; but as
holders further enhanced their figures, business
was checked and most purchasers withdrew. In
the meantime, later European and Northern dis
the rates quoted in the morning, and sales here,
towards the close Of the day, could not be effected
better than at &c. decline on prices paid up to the
receipt Of the latest news.
Monday, Mdy 4.-The market has assumed more
steadiness to-day the Liverpool and New York sd-
vices although indicating no actual advance, dis
| closed greater firmness than had been looked for
from the tenor Of Saturday latest Intelligence and
on the whole, hsd avery resssuring effect. The Of
| fering supply upon this market to-day was fair
| throughout. and the demand was active and gen.
eral from the opening to the close OF business. In
fact, nearly every list exposed for sale found
ready buyers for the foreign and domestic mar
kets, and prices Of all clsssifcstions are sitter
| though not quotably higher. The total sales for
| the day foot up $500 bales.
Tuesday, May 5.-Todsy the market has been
| quiet but firm. Buyers demanded concessions
throughout in view Of dullness reported at Liver
| pool and New York, but factors were memorable,
| and the total sales, which aggregated only 100
bales, were effected at yesterdays ruling prices.

| Wednesday, Nay 6-The unfsvorable tenor Of
| the Liverpool and New York advices to-day has
| caused our market to come TO stand still. Most Of
the leading buyers stood aloof throughout. and the
total sales amounted to only 500 bales 1t is
| hardly necessary to add that prices are weaker,
! but the market is in such an unsettled condition
that it is impossible to obtain reliable or even
closely approximating quotations.

able advices from Liverpool and New
| York. prices have fallen of in this
market today, and, compared with Tues
days closing quotations, rates show decline for
the past two days of fully lc. u h upon all cas-
siicatioDs. several leading factors refuse to &C.

figures, viz: Good ordinary 2s3929c., low mid
ding 293@30c., and middlng 30t@3lc.
Friday Nav s.-The market has been very
inactive to day. Liverpool advices indicated q
retrograde movement, and parties appeared I'M
willing TO buy except at reduction In prices, TO
| which most factors would not submit. offerings
also have been exceedingly light and sales
amounted to only 700 bales at irregular, but not
quotably lower figures. The market is too I'M
settled, however, to admit Of reliable quotations,

only refer TO them as approxmating rates, viz
Good ordinary 2S3@29c., low middlng 29a@30c.,
and middliDg 303@3lc.
