FRIDAY EVENING. April q, lsea
CorToN-At an early hour this morning
we were in possession Of the Liverpool ll;l5
telegram, reporting that market buoyant
and advancing and very soon after the l:2O
| Z, M, dispatch, announcing an advance to
l2i for uplands, and l2S for Orleans mid
ding, with sales estimated at 10000 bales.
The weeks sales included $4,000 bales, Of
| which %. 600 were for export, and 5000 on
speculation. The stock on hand was 1885,.
600, of which 32l 600 were American; afoat
| Sal OOO of which 90, 600 American. Cotton
aiioat was quoted at l3d for middling.
Our market opened with good inquiry,
and factors in some instances were offered
their asking prices of yesterday; but after
the second dispatch became known some
holders asked such prices as street buyers
ask, while others came to terms, and sales
were effected, reaching about 5000 bales, at
somewhat irregular figures, there being
some difference of opinion as to the quota
| tions.
1t would seem that most of the purchases
were on the basis of 29@295c for good or.
binary; 303@3lc tor low middling, and 3l8@
| SIC for middling. Some sales might have
been little higher, and the market closed
firm.
