TuFSDAy EVENING,

TUESDAY EVENING, March 6, 1870.
CorroN-The sales to-day summed up
1850 bales, at irregular prices, showing
decline of about &c in middllng and the
higher grades; &c in low middling and good
ordinary. and {G5c in the poorer qualities;
The market, however, being so unsettled
that the following quotations must be re-
garded as to great extert nominal viz:
Low ordinary at l48l SC; ordinary at l6t8l7c;
good ordinary at 190l9ac: low middiing at
2O@2O4c; middling at 2l9@2l2c; strict mid
ding at 22G224c, and good mlddilng at
-@22ac.
The demand was fair, but at prices shade
lower than the parity of foreign exchange,
but not equal to the decline at New York,
and although many factors were unwilling
10 accept the ruling rates, yet the business
summed up the liberal amount noted above.
A yerv good style of ordinary sold at 16c,
and low mddling at l9lc, On the other
hand very strict good ordinary sold as high
as 2Otc, Other transactions, II not quite as
conflicting as these, showed great lrregu-
> larity. Hence there was the usual diversity
of opinion with regard to quotations, and
some authorities put low mlddlnS at l940
2O}c, aud others at 200-c.

"a eo0 bales, and the receipts 90 7i5, en-
bracing 1874 from other delivery ports, aud
