oOMMERUIAL.

THURSDAY EVENING, January 2, 1858,
CorToE-The sales to-day amounted to
$500 bales, ut prices showing a fur
ther advance Of fully Ic. We now
quote ordinary at l249l2lc., good ordinary
at le{@lS9c., low middhng at l4l@l4tc,,
middling At l4g0l5c., strict middling at
l54@l55c., and good middling at l5}9-c.
Yesterdays sales summed up 2l0O bales at
Mgures leaning to the outside rates of the
previous day.
The market opened with general and
brisk demand, but only limited supply Of
fering. At a later hour, however, new sam
pies were opened, and Notwithstanding the
high prices asked the business summed up
the amount noted above. We have ad-
vanced our quotations tc. on the better
qualities, but considerable portion of the
sales showed still greater improvement.
Ii was, Ia fact, hard to find low midding
at l44c,, or middling at l49c., and these
were exceptional transactions above our
outside figures. Ordinary and good ordi-
nary showed little variation from previous
rates, but still there were sales of strict
good ordinary on which we kaYe raised the
outside figures for that grade 4c. There
was general complaint of the scsntiness
Of the supply. particularly Of the better
qualities, and the market may be regarded
IS having been pretty thoroughly swept of
all desirable lots on sale. The improve
ment in prices may be attributed partly TO
the encouraging accounts from Liverpool
and New York, and partly to the moderate
supply and competition among buyers.
