CorroN-The sales to-day embraced 1850
bales at irregular prices, showing an nm
usual range, and a general tendency in
favor of factors, the market closing with
such wide difference of opinion among
buyers that for the present we omit regular
quotations.
A broker, in whose judgment we place
great confidence, quoted low middling at
l5N ol5ltc, but with sales at l5Ac; another.
who bought freely, put it down at Isle a
l54c; third at 1874 a Ice; and a fourth at
Ice. Sales of this grade were reported at
Is, 15A, l5la and 1874 for average lists, and
at l512, 1874 and l6c for strict. The weight
of opinion at the close appeared to favor
15ls l5a4c. Good ordinary sold at IA, l4la
and 15c; strict at Isl. and l51ec; middling
at l6A and l6lec. and strict middling at
l6c We heard of 800 bales sold. to arrive
per Lee. on the basis of l54c for good
ordinary, and l6c for low middling. and it
is possible it may have been reported and
is included in the above amounts. The
advance indicated BIZ these figures was
predicated on the kilograms from New
York and Liverpool, and in face OF de-
cline of 2. z cent in sterling.
