1000 bales, which will probably be increased

with unchanged quotations. New York
accounts were of the same tenor, though
a together not calculated to keep our mar
ket up, though factors, looking to the light
receipts at all points, were pretty firm.
Under this state OF things the sales report
i above were mostly made at irregular
prices, apprOXmating, however, TO the fol-
loving quotations 29G294c for good or
binary, 300305c for low midaing, and 3lc61
- for middLings, Some small lots, howev-
er, were sold 4@8c below these figures,

Pretty late in the day the P. NJ. dis
patches from Liverpool were at hand, re-
porting frmer market. Sales IL, 600 bales:
uplands middling l24d, and Orleans mid
dllngs 124d, with uplands ahoat II; to 12td,

After this negotiations in our market were
renewed, but with what result we are not
