COMMERCIAL.

MONDAY EVENING. Jsnuary Is. 1868.
CoTroS-The sales to-day amounted TO
$500 bales at prices showing an irregular
advance of 4@lc. . n, closing at the outside
improvement. We now quote ordinary at
l96l3lc,, good ordinary at l44@l43, low
middling at l6A@l63 and middling at l6@
ii giving the above figures, it is proper to
state that while several parties quoted 10.
higher, others put their figures at less,
placing low middling at l5@l5lc., and mid
ding at 15l@l6. Most of those who were in
the market agreed that the rates we have
given were quite low enough. They show
an advance of &c. on Saturdays currency,
attributed to the combined influence of the
favorable accounts from Liverpool and
New York, light receipts, scant supplies in
proportion to the demand increased cOmpe-
titi0n among buyers, and the rise in gold
and foreign exchange. Stained cottOns
sold at lc. less than our inside figures, and
extra staple at &c. more than the outside.
The market was unusually animated, and
thesupply unequal to the demand; the tend.
ency was upw ard throughout the day, and
the highest prices were paid toward the
