COMMERCIAL.

SATURDAY EVENING. March 81, 1869.
| COTToN-Thc sales to-day amounted to
| 1900 bales at sitter prices. We continue to
quote ordinary at 2l0422c.; good ordinary
| at 23@234C.: low middling at 2i9-c.: mid
ding at 244@-c.; and strict middling at
| 250-c.
Factors generally asked a fraction higher
than the above, and in fact sales were made
at "a &c. for COED style low middling. 2il for
middi!ng, and 25l for strict mlddling: but
on the other hand there were some trifing
exceptional transactions at a fraction less
say, ut 23}c. for low middling. A larger
business would probably have been done
had factors been willing to meet the demand
freely at 24c. for middling. Operations
were restricted by the wide difference be.
| tween the views of factors and buyers.
