THURSDAY EyESTNa, April l6. 1868.
CoTroH-The telegraph wires were again
out of order this morning, and Liverpool
adyices were not at hand till near noon.
The cotton market, both in the morning and
at l:l5 p. NJ. was reported easier; esti-
mated sales 10, 900 bales, but without change
OF quotations, which were l24d for upland,
and I24d for Orleans middling.
New York dispatches quote that market
dull at 3lG32c for uplands and gulf cotton,
u decline of &c.
Buyers and sellers have not been able to
come to terms to-day, and only 100 bales
have been reported, in small lots at irreg-
ular prices.
Two lists sold last evening swelled yester-
days business to 600 bales, at 1Dlc decline.
From all we could learn to-day buyers de-
manded a concession of l@l4c from Mon
days quotations, which were 309303c for
good ordinary, 31@3l3c for low middling,
and 32033c for middling.
Sellers are willing to recede somewhat,
but are not yet prepared to sell at such a
decline.
