COArMERCrAL.


SATURDAY EVENING. April 4. 1863.
CoTrON-Before operators had got under
way this morning the Liverpool accounts
were at hand, reporting the early sales of
90 900 bales, at l2gd quoted for upland
middlings in port and atioat, and I2ld for
Orleans
Buyers went TO work and secured about
$500 bales on the basis of 30@1-c for good
ordinary, 3l@-c for low middling, and
32D-c for middliHg. At l p. NJ. the Liv-
erpool telegram of P. NJ. was received,
giving sales of 80, 900 bales at an advance,
the quotations being jumbled up, but with
the aid of private accounts the price of
middltng Orleans was Understood to be l3d,
and still the market was buoyant and ad
vancing.
After this holders generally were unwill.
ing to pame price for what remained on
the market, which closed in an excited mood.
OF the sales 1000 bales were to one buyer
for Liverpool. The opinion gains ground
that the supply from India will be short Of
the estimates considerably. On the other
hand it is believed that spinners in the Mid
die and Northern states have secured fully
100, 600 bales overland beyond what has been
reported at points of distribution. .I
A larger business has been done on specu.
latiol here than perhaps ever before on so
small supply. The reported sales since
the first of February are q, 600 bales above
stock. The actual results are perhaps more
than double that amount.
Receipts yesterday were 5000 bales, of
which 1900 came by two boats from the
upper Arkansas. ....
