SATURDAY EVENING, JAM

SATURDAY. hNENAaOt January Abs lnoo.
CorroN-The sales to-day amounted to
500 bales, at irregular prices, showing an
advance Of 2014 - cent. We quote ordi-
nary at I40l4ac-, good ordinary at l5s9l6;
low middling az l6161l6a; middling at l7@
III strict middliDg at lTh@l7l, and good
middling at l8@-c.
The market opened with very good de-
mand, and although factors asked higher
prices, predicated on the advance reported
ut Liverpool, and the anticipation that light
receipts aHd the discouraging prospect will
cause further improvement, yet the
movement continued active throughout the
day, with the result noted above. There
was considerable diversity of opinion with
regard to quotations, parties who had opera
ted freely differing 4@3c., some quoting low
middling at l6lQl63c., others at l6A9l64c.,
and others at l63Dl7c. This conflict Of cpln-
ion Is partly owing to difference in classi-
fcation, but may be chiefly ascribed to the
irregularity of the market, and its ruling
late In the day at higher rates than at the
commencement. The upward tendency was
increaded by the competition among buyers,
and the moderate supply, which more than
counterbalanced the disadvantage OF de-
cline Of about 59 cent in foreign exchange.
