SATURDAY, Evening. March IA 1854 J
CoTToS-The market has been exceedingly ex
cited to-day. There was nothing in the Liverpool
or New York sdvices calculated to materially af-
feet the demand or prices, but the heavy falling
of IN the total receipts at United States ports for
the week ending last evening justly aroused q
general apprehension that the crop OF 1867 and
,6s will foot up much smaller than had been gene
rally estimated. The inquiry from early morning
till The close Of business has been active, general
and spirited, and resulted In aggregate sales for
the day Of ii 500 bales at an average advance of
20llc. y u. upon all cassifcations Of the staple.
We have revised our figures and now quote as
follows, viz: Ordinary, 2l3@22c., good ordinary
221@2sc., low middliDg 23}@24c., middling 2&40
25c. and strictly middling nominal.
