COTrON-The sales to-day summed up
$500 bales, at irregular and lower prices,
showing net decline toward the close OF
;0sc in good ordinary snd low middling,
aud l@14c in the poorer qualities. We
now quote low ordinary at l450 i53c: ordi-
nary at lG40l7c; good ordinary at l99l9Ic;
low middllng at 204G202c; middling at 2l5@
22c; strict middling at -@22ic, and good
middiing at -@22ac.

grams from Liverpool aud New York, and
especially by the decline in gold. that the
views Of brokers with regard to prices were
unusually conflicting, and the above quota
tons must be regarded to q considerable
extent as nominal. Some authorities
quoted low ordinary at 14@l54c; ordinary
others put ordinary at 16l@l7.c; good
ordinary at l940l94c, and low midtling at
20I@204c. The SAFES included stlict good
ordinary to low middliug al 204c. and Havre
low middling al 205c. Or the other hand

more than one party endeavored TO buy
average lists at 2o4c, witt out success. The
decline was propQrtlQn2teiy greater than
