Monday Evening, Nov. 80, 1863


CoTToH-The third month of the commercial
years 1869, closes this evening upon very buoy.
ant market. The demand which has been active
general. and at times quite exciting during the
day, resulted in aggregate sales of $500 bales, at
full previous prices for all classfcations except
low middIiDg and midaling, and lc. per ID ad.
vance upon each Of the latter descriptions, which
were in almost universal request. There was no.
thing in the sdvices received from Liverpool or
New York to-day, to justify the competition that
prevailed among buyers and the N ost reasonable
solution of it will doubtless be found in the con-
vicuon, on the minds of purchasers, that they have
already waited too long for low prices. We now
quote ordinary 2l3c., good ordinary 22l0224c.,
low middling 23@-c., middling 23t@ C, aad
strict middling 23}c.
