COMMERCIAL.


THURSDAY EVENING, February y, 1853.
CorToN-The sales to-day amounted to 1000
bales at irregular prices requiring no
change in our quotations, which we repeat
as follows ordinary l80lS5c.; good ordi
nary l930--Co; low middling 205G9-c.; mid
ding 2l8@-c.; and strict middling 220D-c.
The market opened with a fair demand,
and portion of the business done early in
the morning was at fuller prices, but the
unfavOrable accounts subsequently received
from Liverpool and New York checked the
movement, and at the close previous rates
were barely maintained Good ordinary
was in some request, and being in limited
supply sold as high as 20c., but rot to a
sufficient extent to serve as a basis for quo
tations. On the other hand we heard of
sales of middling as low as 2lc. The supply
Offering at the ruling rates was limited.
Had it been more ample the business would
no doubt have been of greater extent as
several buyers retired in consequence of
being unable to find the kinds they wanted.
