"WEDNESDAY EVENING. May {, 1870.
| CoTToN-The sales to-day embraced 5000
bales, requiring slight modification in our
| quotations for low niddling, as follows: Low
| ordinary l50l6c, ordinary l7{4l84c, good
| ordinary 2O@209c, low middllDg 2l@21s,
mlddliDg 2l2522c, strict middling q! @224c,
and good mlddling -G224r.
The market opened with rather more
liberal offerings on the part of factors, but
mostly held at fraction above the views of
buyers, which checked the demand until
later in the day, when buyers came forward
rather more freely, particularly toward the
close. Clean white cottons were in scant
supply, and being in request, commanded
in some cases, prices above our outside
figures, strict good ordinary. for example,
selling as high us 20Sc and 202c, and if with
very good staple, even higher. Strict low
middllng also brought fraction over out
side figures, say 2lac. Notwithstanding the
ton to recede from their pretensions.
