$3.50 bales at rather easier sprices, but
without any quotable decline. We ac-
cordingly continue to qnote Low Ordi-
nary at l5@16c., Ordinary at 17i@ls
&C., Good Ordinary at 2O@2Obc., Low
Middling at 2l02lsc., Middling at 2lf
@22c., Strict Middling at 221@224c.,
and Good Middling .at-224c.
The inquiry was rather more general
and the supply better, but -smost fac
tors were unwilling to make any mark
ed concessions, while buyers were
reluctant to go on at previous rates,
which checked the movement. Ike
increased weakness in the market was
shown by offers being accepted which
had been previously refused, although
still covered by yesterdays quotations.
There was some demand for good
style of Ordinary at I79c., but there
was little of the kind wanted to be had
under l6c., while Strict was held at
l64c. Only limited amount of Low
Middling could be had at Gle, factors
asking tic. for average lists and 2ls
@2lfc. for Strict, while even-running
sold still higher. Some descriptions.
however, sold ut 81 c. and 2ltc,. which
could not have been had yesterday un-
