Saturday, closing quiet at quotations
The total sales for the week have been Si0s
bales, of which 7424 bales were to spinDers, 553
bales to spectators, and l32 bales TO exporters
The demand has been largely for low middiings
| and above, and has been regulated altogether by
| the wants of the spinners. The offerings of all
grades are small, and of cottons on the spot there
| is hardly enough to meet the demand. The ad-
| vices from the Southern markets showing lower
prices there, is interpreted by buyers meaning
lower prices here on the arrival of supply OF
| cotton. Exporters cannot buy at present prices
ard are waiting for the decline.
| The receipts at the ports are heavy. and hardly
sustain the reports Of general damage to the crop
| from worms and rains, and that planters are IN
willing TO sell at present prices.
| The exports from this port for the week have
heen. 10 Liverpool 2O0l bales, to Havre 400 bales
| Total 240l bales.
