COMMERCIAL.

TUESDAY EVENING. March TO- 1863
CoFToN-The sales to-day were confined
to 600 bales at prices indicating falling OH
of &c. from yesterdays figures. We quote
ordinary at 2l@2l1c.; good ordinary at :
122Ac. low middling at-023ac.; middling
at -(0245c., and strict middling at -025c.,
but from the trifing business these figures
must be regarded as nominal The market
opened with prospect of moderate bust
ness, factors adhering to their previous pre-
tensions; but although at later hour the
latter were willing TO make liberal conces-
sions in order to effect sales, yet it failed to
bring out buyers, who, with very few ex-
ceptions, stood aioof up to the close. In
fact the movement may be regarded as hay-
ing been brought nearly to standstill. We
have quoted middling nominal at-C024k, but
we ale aware of its having been offered at
"a. The suspension of operations is attrib-
uted to the ruling rates being. above orders
for shipment, and TO the speculative demand
having ceased.
