SATURDAY EVENING, Ma

SATURDAY EVENING, May %, 1863.
CoTToN-The sales to-day were confined
to 500 bales at still easier prices, showing
pretty general decline of &c. We now
quote: Ordinary 24@244c; good ordinary
25i q 264c; low middling 27n273c; middling
2S02s4c, and strict middling -@284c.
Under the influence of an additional de-
cline in gold and foreign exchange and
further unfavorable accounts from Liver
pool, the market opened this morning I'M
settled and dropping with only limited de-
mand, and being still more depressed sub
sequently by the second dispatches per
cable, exhibited a continued downward
tendency, which renders necessary the re-
duCtion we have made in our quotations.
Some parties allege that the decline was
confined to the lower grades, but although
orders of any magnitude for strict middliDg
and the better qualities could hardly be
filed under yesterdays figures, yet with
the limited demand prevailing factors have
been unable to realize unless at the conces.
sions we have indicated.

wholly inactive this morning, there being
no receipts, and Is hhds from first hands
