COMMERCIAL.

FBIDAY EVENING. March Is. 1868,
COTToN-The sales to-day reached 5000
bales, at rather easier prices, but without
any material decline, We now quote Ordi-
nary at 20@2lc. good ordinary at 22922fc.;
low middling at 224@2jc.; middling at 23A
&C, and strict middling at 240-c.
The market opened with better inquiry,
but with offers from buyers below the views
of factors, who were reluctant to make any
concessions from yesterdays rates. AT a
later hour, however, the latter met the de-
mand rather more freely, and although the
movement was by no means general,
yet the amount noted above changed
hands at prices showing some further
advantage on the side of buyers, and
generally conforming to the quotations
given. The sales of the past three days
sum up 10, 800 bales, making total for the
week of 20 $50, against 81, 900 last week and
1000 the week before. The receipts proper
for the week Excluding the arrivals from
Mobile, Florida, and Texas, which are EN-.
braced in their respective statements,)
