OOMMERoIAL.

THURSDAY EVENING, January Q, 1858.
CoTroE-The sales to-day amounted to
400 bales, at sitter prices for the better
qualities, especially for all even running
lists, but at at easier rates for mixed lists,
and the lower grades. Referring to our re.
marks below, we quote ordinary at l29l2lc
good ordinary l3@l3lc; low middIing at
l449l4Ac,; middling at l4l@l5c., strict
middling at l5l@l5Ac.; and good middling
at l5iG-c.
The market opened with very good in
quiry, but only limited supply on sale,
particularly of clear white even running
lists OF low middling and middling which
consequently commanded outside figures.
In fact, il was difficult to buy middling at
the insides rate Of l4lc., unless in ex-
Ceptional cases. Good and extra staple
demanded fraction above the outside
quotations, The demand was general, as
well as active, and had the supply been
sufficient the business would undoubtedly
have been on a much more liberal scale.
Nearly every buyer complained of the
United extent of the supply, most of them
being ready to go on at the ruling rates,
but unable to find the descriptions they
Fanted. The decline at Liverpool was to a
great extent neutralized by the high rates
obtained for foreign exchange, the competi.
bon among buyers, and the scant supply.
SUeAR-The receipts yesterday and Today
comprise S9l hhds. The demand appears to
have fallen off, and is now only moderate.
