FRIDAY EVENING. January 10. 1868
CorToN-The sales to-day amounted to $3.50
bales, at prices showing an improvement on
all desirable lists Of &c. We now quote or

49,; low middliBg at l45Gl44; middling at
l51l5l; strict middling at l53@l5}, and
good middling atl-0lG.
The market opened with very good in
quiry at previous rates, but under the IA
vOrable influence of an advance of about
Scent in foreign exchange, and cOnsidera-
Die competition among buyers, while the
supply was only moderate, prices soon as
sumed an upward tendency, resulting in the
improvement noted above. Even running
lists of white clean low middling and mid
ding brought outside figures, aud strict
good ordinary with the same advantages
sold at lac. The sales of the past three
Gays sum up 1850 bales, making 3 total for
the week of 27,sO0, against 81 900 last week,
and S2,25O the week before, lut it is
manifest that there would have been no fall
ing of in the movement had the supply been
equal to the demand. The receipts proper

Mobile, Florida, and Texas, which are en-
braced in their respective statements,
