MONDAY EVENING, May 30 1870
COTToN-The sales to-day embraced 1900
bales at still easier prices, requiring slight
modification in our quotations, as follows:
Ordinary l7i@1S3c, good ordinary l92g2oc,
low middling 2l@2l4c, midding -W22c,
strict middling 224g224c. and good middling
224G23c.
The market opened with limited il quiry,
and buyers claiming still further conces-
Sions, which factors would not admit. The
supply, moreover, was light, and up to noon
the business was confined to 8 few small
lots. Later in the day, however, finding
disposition to meet them more freely, few
buyers came forward and took the amount
noted above. Even-runnDg strict low mid
ding sold at 81 &c, against 21sc on Saturday,
aud other grades also ruled more in favor of
buyers. This was before the receipt OF the
Liverpool telegram reporting a decline in
that market, after which nothing transpired
to show its effect.
