CoTToN-The sales to-day embraced $3.50
any quotable decline. We accordingly con.
tinue 70 quote: Low ordinary 15@I6c, or.
binary l748lS4c, good ordinary 2O@2O5c,
low middllng 2l@21s mlddling 2l3122c.
strict middling 22I@224c, and good mid.
ding OPTIC.
The inquiry was rather more general, and
the supply better. but most factors were un-
willing to makeiany marked concessions,
while buyers were reluctant to go on at pre-
vious rates, checked the movement. The
| Increased weakness in the market was
shown by offers being accepted which had
| been previously refused, although still Gov
cred by yesterdays quotations. There was
some demand for good style of ordinary at
l74c, but there was little of the kind wanted
| to be had under 1Sc, while strict was held at
Isle. Only limited amount of low middling
| could be had at 21c, factors asking Il Ic for
average lists, and 21S@2l5c for strict while
even-running sold still higher. Some de.
scriptions, however, sold at 2l4c and 2l3c,
| which could not have been had Wednesday
under 2ls@21ac.
