CoTTON-The sales to. day were confined to
400 bsles, at easier prices, showing a de-
cline in good ordinary and low midding of
fully sc. We quote ordinary at ia 0lS3c;

2l&@2lsc; middiing at-@224c; strict mid
ding at 2250224c;. and good middling at
-@23c.
Some authorities made the decline Ic,
while others who went through the market
thoroughly commended that although the
medium and better qualities were easier,
there was no quotsble falling Off. There
were some sales beloW our inside figures for
low middling. Factors generally adhered to
their previous pretensiOns, but under the
course of gold and foreign exchange, as well
as the decline at New York and but little
competition among buyers, sales could no.
be effected unless at some concessions.
