Friday Rvenine. july s. 1868 !


CoTToN-The market has been inactive and
prices have been unsettled from the opening to
the close OF the week ending this evening. For
a time Liverpool and New York advices were
somewhat encouraging, but Tuesdays kilograms
indicated an unfavorabie reaction, and the whole
of the intelligence received since has been adj
10 the interests of factors and holders. The
latter have manifested no feelings of discontinue,
however, bat on the contrary still further dimin-
ished their previously reduced Offering stock and
proportionately enhanced their asking prices, and
strange TO say, In defiance of ineessant remon-
stranees on the part Of buyers rates have i'm
proved fully l@l3c. % ID Operations show but
very limited demand at the revised figures how
ever, but the market closed stiff this evening at
23@2sc. for good ordinary, 2s3@29c. for low
midoling and ordinary, and 3O@S0sc. for middling.
We append some extracts from our daily reports,
as follows, viz: -'
Saturday, June 27.-The market has been
stiff but inactive to day. Most factors re.
fused to uncover their tables except at still
higher rates, on account Of the continued IA.
vOrable adyices from Liverpool and New York,
while buyers manifested their accustomed eau
ton throughout and uniformly declined to
operate on better than previous terms. The total
sales have been restricted to 100 bales, divided
among five purchasers. 'lh
Monday, June 29-with light offering supply
and no material alteration announced in the Liver
pool and New York markets, business has continued
restricted to-day. The total sales footed up only
225 bales, divided among three buyers and the
market closed unsettled at &c. advance on good
ordinary and low mddling. I Factors gen.
orally appeared less anxious than heretofore to
elect sales, while most buyers manifested in
creased caution.
Tuesday, June 30--The tenth month Of the com
mercial year lS67-68 closes this evening upon a
quiet but firm market Most buyers still demand
concessions which factors uniformly refuse to
grant, and the movement to-day has been re-
stricted to 1856 bales, divided among live purchss.
eTs, at previous nominal quotations.
Wednesday, July business to-day summed
up 1858 bales at previous prices, divided
among aS seven n..6 buyers, Larger sales might
reduced their figures, but as the latter were
memorable, and az advices from abroad
continued dlscouraging, most buyers withdrew
nominally at previous figures. 80
Thursday, July 2-The movement in the leading
staple has disclosed fair inquiry TO day and
the continued unfavorable advices from Liverpool
full average business might have been trans
acted, had not most factors withheld their sun
plies or very materially enhanced their asking
rates. As II was. however, the total sales
amounted to only Ala bales, including $50 bales to
one party, and the market closed unusually stiff
At an average advance of fully sGlc. o d. upon
all classifcations.
Friday, July S-To-dsy there has been a fair
and somewhat active demand. Buyers were ap-
parently less influenced by prices than by quail
ties, and whenever an offered lot suited tne pur.
chaser there was no unusual delay in effecting a
sale. Owing to the limited and undesirable char.
acter OF the offering supply. however, the total
operations have been restricted to 54s bales, of
which one party took $50 bales. The ruling rates
to-day have been 27t@2sc for good ordinary,
2s3G2sc. for low middling, and 3093O4c. for
middliDg.
