New Orleans Market.

New Orleans Market.
| CoTToN-The sales to-day summed
up 5000 sbales-the heaviest day this
year-at irregular and lower prices
closing at a net decline of 1@4c. We
now quote Good Ordinary at 22a@23c.;
Low Middling at 23l@and 231; Mid
ding at 23ss023s, and Strict Middling
at 240-c.
Prices have exhibited considerable
irregularity, opening decidedly easier,
then assuming more frmness, aud
again giving and closing at the falling
off noted above. Middling sold in the
morning as high as 24c., and later in
the day at 23s and 23a. Strict low
Middling ranged from 23a up to 23ss,
and Low Middling from 234G22a. The
demand was stimulated by the conces-
sions of factors, an improvement in
foreign exchange, and the ample sup
ply. Hence the sales summed up the
large amount noted above, which is
1900 bales in excess of the heaviest
previous day this season. The de-
mand was quite general, aud divided
among twenty seven brokerage houses.
The sales for the past three days
sum up 1880 bales, and the receipts
19,94s, embracing 1893 from other de-
livery ports, and 1s,sl5 proper, against
1850 proper last week. Receipts
proper since Sept. /, 194,317 bales,
against l68,s04 last year. The ex-
ports comprise II ,426 bales, embracing
1928 to Liverpool, 1896 to Havre,
459 to Barcelona, so to Havana, 1895
to Boston, and 1903 to New York.
