TUESDAY EVENING, October 4, 1870.


CoTTON-The sales to-day summed up
5000 bales, at sitter prices generally, but
with the chief Improvement in good ordi-
harry and low middling. We now quote low
ordinary at 9 @ Zoe, ordinary at Ii d i2c, good
ordinary at 1884 0l4i4c. low middling at
1ias a l5c, middling at ISIS l5Asc. strict
Eniddling at 1855 Ice, and good middling
ut - u lb3.c.
The above figures show an advance on
good ordinary of asc, in low mddling of Is
o NC, and in middling OF barely lsc. with
no change in the better qualities. The de-
inand ran mostly on good ordinary and low
iniddling, and continued active throughout
the day, or until the supply Offering was al
most exhausted. The decline in gold. aud
both foreign and domestic exchange. was
calculated 10 depress the market. but a con
siderable part of the values on which the
purchases of cotton are based had been
previously negotiated, and freight engaged,
which, with the competition among buyers.
hnd the moderate supply. enabled factors
TO realize the advance noted. The sales
