| CoTTON-The sales to-day summed up
1850 bales at rather sitter prices, especially
| for desirable lots, requiring a slight modi-
| tiCation of our quotations, rs follows: Low
ordinary at l5Gl6ic: ordinary at l73916}c;
| good ordinary at 20l0204c; Low mlddnng
| at Il t0l2l c; middling, at 22D224c; strict
| middilng at 22!G922a C, and good mlddling 1T
| 224023c.
Strict good ordinary, even running, was
| reported as high as dc; good style mitdlir g
| at 2l5c; strict at q c and 2l4c, and strict
| mldding at 222c. On the other hand we
heard OF strict low middling at 81 &c, at which
| more WAS offered later. The market closed
hardly as strong IS earlier in the day, AID in
| more than one instance factors accepted
prices which they had refused in the morn
ing; hence some parties reported no change
in prices, but TIE quotations We have given
appeared to represent the market more cor
rectly. The demand was fair and the supply
only moderate.
