COMMERCIAL.
FRIDAY EVENING. April 3, 1868.
CoTToN-The sales to-day foot up 1000
bales, which may be increased by the closing
Of some lists under negotiation after P.
N. Yesterdays business reached $500 bales,
1000 having been sold late in the day; thus
making an aggregate of $500 for two days.
The market was excited and irregular
throughout. The IL A. III. Liverpool &C
counts were so ambiguous reporting sales
of $4,000 bales, and so much excited, that
quotations could not be given; that imagi-
nation took wings, and l2sd was the lowest
price looked for. This was soon followed
by a telegram at l:20 p. M, quoting Orleans
middling at l25d. Buyers were disguised,
and holders came forward more freely. A
list Of speculation cotton guaranteed mid
ding was offered at SOC in vain, though pre-
viously lew middling had been sold at that
figure.
came 70 hand, quoting Orleans middling at
124@l2sd, with uplands l25d atioat. This
was too late to allow Of further movements,
though an effort was made to close 500
bales.
Prices of course were luctuating, and for
sake Of reference we quote good ordinary
2s3029c; low middling 294030c; and mid
ding 30563lc, remarking, however, that
market closing with decided tendency up
ward.
The business in Liverpool the past week
was the largest on record, 1853 900 bales, of
which 100000 to the trade, $4,000 for ex-
port, and IA, 900 on speculation; stock, 3l3,-
800 bales, with 3s2, 900 ahoat.
