SVNA LAVA AAAs
FRIDAY EVENING, April II, 1868,
CoTToN-1 esterday only 100 bales OF cot
ton were reported as sold, and to day not
single sale has come to our knowledge.
Factors and buyers are further apart than
efer. Early in the day 30Ic was offered in
vain for an overrunning low middling list
The telegraph soon after announced the
opening prices at Liverpool this morning to
be I2kd for uplands, and l2sd for Orleans.
Estimated sales 5000 bales. The 20 T. NJ.
dispatch quoted prices as nominal and de-
clining. The sales of the week were $4,000
bales, of which 5000 on speculation and
H. 900 for export. Stock 4O7, 600, of which
23S, 900 were American. New York market
quiet and sales small. Since this intelli-
gence was received buyers have withdrawn
altogether. It is said that a list of good or
binary was offered at zoe, and one of barely
low middling at 299c, without finding a
buyer. Quotations therefore are out OF the
question.
