COMMERCIAL.

TUESDAY EVENING. March II, 1865.
CoTFoN-The sales to-day were confined to
5000 bales at irregular prices, showing an
average decline of 4e. We now quote or
binary at 2l@2l3c.; good ordinary at 224@
&c.; low middling at 233@239e.; middling
at 24}@243. and strict middling at -@25c.
The market opened dull and dropping,
with moderate inquiry from buyers, who
came forward with lower offers than factors
would accept, and the accounts by cable
being unfavorable, the movement continued
to the close without any spirit. Hence the
business was confined 70 the limited amount
noted above. Factors generally were I'M
willing to give way, or operations no
doubt would have been on more liberal
scale. While we quote as above, 1t is proper
to add that strict low middling sold as high
Is 24c., and Liverpool mlddling at 245c.,
but the figures we have given represent the
general business. The sales of the past
three days sum up q 800 bales, a considera-
bile portion of which was for foreign ex-
port. The receipts proper since Friday
evening, Excluding the arrivals from Mo-
tbila Florida, and Texas, which are embraced
in their respective statements,) amount to
1853, against II $50 during the correspond.
