THURSDAY EvESIsG, September IS. 1870.
CorroN-The sales to-day summed up
100 l'ales at irregular prices. with a general
tendency in favor of factors, requiring q
slight modification of our quotations. which
we adjust as follows: Low ordinary 10 a ic:
ordinary la l3c; good ordinary l5a ID 7sc;
low middling I6a4 a l7kc: middling liz a
II Sc; strict middling l81-c, and good
middling -0lSl2c.
The market opened under the favorable
influence Of encouraging kilograms from
LiverpOol and rather higher pretensions on
the part of factors, which checked opera
lions, but later in the day parties came to-
gether more freely. and the sales summed
up the liberal amount noted above, taken
partly for Liverpool and partly for the
North. The demand was quite general
twelve brokers participating in the bust
ness and the indications were that had
there been an ample supply, the sales would
have been more than doubled. Strict good
ordinary and strict low middling sold in
some cases above our outside figures for
those grades.
