New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-04-24
COMMERCIAL.

| THURSDAY EVENING. April %, 1858.
CoTToN-The inquiry throughout the day
has been pretty general, though the sales
are only about 700 bales, taken by six buy.
ers in small lots.
The early telegram from Liverpool quoted
the market frmer at l24 and l21d for up
plands and Orleans middings. The /. 20 p.
M. accounts noted an active and firmer
market, quoting prices id higher. The Liv.
erpool market closed buoyantly. Sales
| Is, 900 bales at l2j for uplands, and l2sd for
Orleans middling. The New York market
was also more active at 32@33c for mid.
| dlings.
With more cheerfulness in this market
buyers and sellers come nearer each others
views. Speculation seems at an end, aud
| several large lists in the market were broken
up to meet the wants of buyers.
The sales made were rather irregular in
prices, but judging from personal observa-
ton of sales and offerings we quote the
market closing at about 294 0294c for good
ordinary; 500 3Ofc for low middling; and
Sl4 a SIC for middling. AT q quarter of
cent addition to these figures it is probable
that much larger business would have
been done.
