The recent elections have somewhat intsrfered
with the regular business arrangements during the
past week, but operations in most departments
have been satisfactory nevertheless. The leading
staple YVES dull and neglected during the first
several days but has since revived and 10 now in
good request at considerably enhanced figures.
Tobacco has been in better supply and demand at
improving prices. Sugar and Molasses continue

gish at irregular figures. Corn, Oats and Bran
were steady. Hay was supersbundant. Gold
huctusted considerably. Foreign Exchange went
up and Domestic Exchange continued quiet and
snf, and the remittance demand was moderate
from the opening to the close Of the week. Quo
tations have undergone no change of any kind,
however, as will be seen on reference 70 the daily
ruling figures.
COTIoN-The market has been unsettled, irregu.
lar and vsciating throughout. from the opening
till near the close of the past week. For several
days opei atoms were 80 restricted and rates
so underlined that IL was impossible to present
accurate reports, but under more favorable adj
vices, recently received from Liverpool and New
York, the staple has assumed greater hrmness,
and the market has given greater evidence of q
more Teassuring feeling. In fact, rates have ma.
terially improved for all descriptions, but the
latter change Is, perhaps, more attributable to
the constant and heavy falling of In receipts at
all Of the principal poi Is than to any other cause.
Saturday. April ls.-The market is still too I'M
n.
to-day amounted to only $50 bales. atrregulsr fig
ures and il Is yet impossible to obtain even closely
approximating quotations. The offering supply
continues exceedingly light, and the actual
demand cannot be regarded as better than nomi-
nal. Advices from other markets are very con-
dictiDg, and we cannot look for a full return to
previous active movements for several days
hence.
Monday, april 20 There is no marked variation
OF any kind to notice 10 the market. Advices from
Liverpool and New York to-day were slow in COM
ing to hand. and on receipt we're generally pro-
nounced conflicting and unsatisfactory. Most
factors and holders here continued firm, however,
but buyers were shy throughout, and the sales,
which barely footed up $50 bales, were effected
at such irregular prices that we still unable to
furnish reliable or even closely approximating
quotations.
Tuesday, Apra 2l.-The market has disclosed
little more steadness to day; some few factors
having got tired of holding or feeling anxious to
close out their supplies submitted to q reduction
OF rates under the apprehension that the conflict
ing and unsatisfactory advices from New York and
Liverpool with which we have been recently ia
vored may continue indefinitely. or at least too
long for their purpose. The Offering supply is
still very light, however, and the demand is re-
stricted to an exceedingly limited number Of buy
ers. Operations to- day footed up 1000 bales at
2sa@29c. for good ordinary, 30@30tc. for low mid
ding, and SlW3l3c. for mddling.
Wednesday, Aprd %. : The market is
frmer under more favorable sdvices from
still light, however, and while the de-
msnd appears to be decidedly more active and
general, most buyers are unwilling to pay asking
prices. Sales up to P. NJ. reached 1000 bales at
full previous figures, but on receipt of the P. NJ.
cable telegram there was evidence Of a renewed
inquiry, which may result in further operations.
Thursday, Aprl 70. : The market is
New York and Liverpool. Offerings con-
tinue light, however, and sales have been
restricted to 1900 bales at an average advance Of
&c. ~ n. upon all classi6cations. The improved
tone of the foreign and domestic markets con-
tributed to uphold prices, but the principal stimu
lus is stll the heavy falling of in receipts.
Friday, April A.-To-day there has been an
active, steady and general demand, and under en-
couragiDg advices from Liverpool and New York,
rates Of all classi6cations have been still further
enhanced. The total sales amounted to 400
bales, and operations would, doubtless, have been
much heavier but for the very limited character of
the supply in FIRST hands. The ruling figures this
evening are 290D304c for good ordinary, 31613l3c.
for low middlpg, and 32G32ac. for middling.
The total sales for the week amount TO only
$500 bales against 1860 bales last week and ii ass
bales the week before. The net receipts have
been limited to GIL bales, against 92s7 bales last
week, showing "a falling of Of S576 bales, and
lO, 500 bales receipts the week before. The ag-
gregate exports were IL, 800 bales, against III 1926
bales last week and 81 Isl bales the week before,
and the stock on hand and on shipboard not
cleared this evening is 64,722 bales against GO, 0
bales last week and 0,7S5 bales ct the close Of
the previous week. The exports for the past
week have been divided as follows, viz: AZ bales
New York, 200 bales for Barcelona, $3.50 bales
for St. Petersburg, 34l2 bales for Havre and 6s25
bales for Liverpool.
