Columbus Market.
COLUMBUS. January e.-CorroN-To Thursday,
IL O'Clock good demand has existed for all grades
but little cotton has been offered and hencs little has
been DONE 1t is estimated that ope-fourih the re-
ceipts are middlings. 10 fill an order for ths Class
is exceedingly difficult. Planters minifest little dis
position to sell unless the whole crop goes at the
highest figures. They anticipate further advances,
and are holding to secure 1t. Since Thursday, buy
ers have been at stand STILL The receipts Tor the
week are small. This may be attributed to great
degree to the wretched conoitiUn OF ihe roods.
heavy rain fell all Sunday night, Monday and Mon
day night Stree we have had balm, spring days
with cool nights All tho cotton offered to Thursday
morning was readily taken, The estimated crop to
be received at til point Uies from $4,000 to o0OVo
bales against 81. .6S5 last Sc; son.
From lite circulars we notice that the high esu-
mates of the total crop have been reduced. Those
who admitted 9 TOO 600 bales are now putting their
figures to 900 900 and less, all of which is admitted
by Liverpool circulars will be absolutely wanted.
By many prominent factors last seasons crop, p.
$50, 900 bales, is considered extreme.
On Saturday Northern middngs "a Aa241ac; sales
325 bales Monday 245la25c; sales 20 BALES Tues
day 2515c; sales 2o6 bales Wednesday 2515c. closed
heavy; sales 199 bales. Thursday, nominally 26c;
little demand; sales A bales. To-day New York dis
patches giving advances produced great'excitement
All the cotton offered was quickly taken, and the
boards swept clean. Holders refused high figures.
The market was too excited ut its close to give
rect quotations, hence the following ore mere APP
proIimahons. In the evening regard was not had to
strict c.cssifcations: Ordinary 23Sa24; good ord-
nary 25; low middlnys 25a; middlings tNorthern)-
