SATURDAY EVENING. May T. Ism.
CoTToN-The sales to-day summed up
$3.50 bales, at sitter prices, showing al ir-
regular advance of t@4c. We now quote
low ordinary l5@l6tc, ordinary l74@ISlc.
good ordinary 208@204c. low middling 2lI@
215c. mlddling 229224c, strict middllng
22a04-c, and good middling -@23c.
The demand was active throughout the
day, and the advance realized was more
from competition among buyers, and mos,
OF the pressing lots having been previously
disposed Of than from the course OF other
markets or OF exchange, in neither of which
was there any Improvement. The simple
tact, however. that there was no decline, in
face OF our heavy receipts, was calculated
to have favorable influence. Had factors
met the demand more freely, the business
would no doubt have been on s still more lib
eral scale, as several buyers were unable to
MI their orders. Low midding sold at
2lsc, but at the close there was little or
none to be had under 21tc. Strict sold 1T
Zl4c, and even higher, for even running.
