COMM z RCIAL

SATURDAY EVENING. April le. 1870.
CoTTON-The sales today were confined to
2200 bales at sitter prices, showing an irregu.
lar advance from the lowest point yesterday
of ,@ac. We now quote low ordinary at Is
@l65c; ordinary, l7l91S3c; good ordinary,
ding, -@224c; strict middliug, 22I@-c,
and good mlddling at 224@23c.
The market opened with light offerings
and higher pretensions on the part of fac
tors, who predicated their claims on the i'm
provement in gold and foreign exchange,
but q very limited business was done during
the morning buyers being unwilling to pay
the figures asked. Still later, however, the
latter came forward rather more freely, and
prices derived additional strength from an
Improvement of !c at New York, but still
the demand was without any spirit, and the
business connfied to the limited amount
noted above. Some authorities quoted low
middling att 21!@21sc, and others at 21l@
2l1c, but the figures we have given appeared
to represent the market more nearly, al
though it was difficult to find low middling
at 2lc. Brokers complained of the scant
supply of desirable cottons.
