THURSDAY RvsxrSs, October s, 1870


| CoTToN - The sales to-day embraced
| 1900 bales at about previous rates during
| the morning. but at easier prices subse
| qncntly, requiring some modification in oul
| figures, as follows: Low ordinary, 90 Zoe
| ordinary. ii a l2c; good ordinary, 40
| l4ssc low middling, l4a. q he /: middling
III. el5lac: strict middling, l5a. q l6c, and
| gbod middling, "a l6s4c.
The market opened with a moderate sup
ply, but the demand was hardly as active
a. yesterday. and subsequently showed still
| less spirit, buyers for the North standing
aloOf, and the sales being mostly for Liver
pool. Under these circumstances, with di-
minished competition among purchasers,
prices ruled easier, requiring partial re-
ductiOn in our quotations of 1sc, as above.
Low middling sold at l4l.. l43s, In and
ljc. and middling as low as Is and us high
as l5lec.
