THURSDAY EVENING, July IA, 1870.
COTToN-The sales to-day summed up
1000 bales, at figures showing even more
irregularity than yesterday, but in many
cases no quotable variation excepting in
ordinary. We accordingly, nOtwithstand-
ing the advance at New York repeat our
previous figures with slight variation, as
follows: Ordinary 12ls a 1875 c; good ordinary
lea 16lac; low middlingl7 a 71ac; middling
lSd lSAc, and strict middling 1Sls a 1saic.
Ordinary sold as low as II and 12lac, and
strict good ordinary at l6c; but we also
former and 18ls for strict low middling,
with good or extra staple. We also heard
of strict good ordinary with staple at lie.
The better qualities from their scant sup
ply, were held at outside prices, or frac
tiOn more but the general run of the offer
ings, and especially stained and dusty lots,
could be bought at inside figures or fraction
less. With the want of competition among
buyers, the lower grades can not be sold if
pressed on the market, unless at decline.
Sales have been made at lc under our quota
tons.
