Saturday Evening, May 23 1853. 7
CoTTON-The market to day has been almost at
q complete standstill. The Liverpool and New
York dispatches reporting firm and steady
markets have caused factors here to be very firm
in their views in fact, many covered their
samples, not being DESTROYS to sell except at en-.
HANGED rates, while buyers who still remain shy
did not seem disposed to operate except conces.
sions we're made. The stock in first hands how
ever, is of very restricted character, white the
present ruling figures do not suit the views of
spectators. Sales have consequently been con-
fined to $50 bales in several small lots, but prices
close firm at yesterdays figures viz: Good or
binary 27Q27I, low middling 2sG2S3, and mid
ding 299294c.
