COMMERCIAL

CorToN-The sales to-day summed up $3.50
bales, at an irregular decline of Is q Ac.
We quote ordinary at 120l2a4; good ordi-
nary at 1895 q l3asc; low middling ut 1875 a
l4Ac; middling l4la 0l4'sc; and strict mid
ding at -0l5c.
Low middling ruled at l4c. and strict at
14lsc, but there were sales OF the former a t
1850, and even less, and of the latter at
HAc. Our quotations for good ordinary
agree with the ruling rates, but therewere
sales Of strict as high as l324c, and frac-
ton more. Liverpool middling was reported
at less than the inside figures for that grade,
but in exceptional cases. The demand was
fair at the opening, but improved on factors
meeting at more freely. At the close the
in the day.
