COM N ERCIAL.

THURSDAY EVENING June 2, 1870
CoTToN-The sales to-day summed up
$3.50 bales, at prices indicating rather a
better tone in the market, but without any
quotable change. We accordingly repeat
our previous figures as follows: Ordinary
ding 2O4@2lc: middling 2l}@22c; strict
mddling 22lc@-; and good middling 22f
G.
The market opened with better feeling
generally and fair demand, under which a
moderate business was done during the
morning at about previous rates, after which,
the supply being more copious, buyers came
forward quite freely, and the movement re.
suited in the liberal business noted above.
Most buyers concurred in representing
prices stesdier aud stronger, but one or two
were enabled to purchase at figures below
our quotations. Toward the close factors
appeared ready to meet the demand rather
more freely than at an earlier hour. The
demand was mostly for Great Britain and
the Continent.
