COMM ERCIAL.

SATURDAY EvEsING. March Is. ls0.
CoTToS-The sales to-day were confined
to 1885 bales at irregular and easier prices,
showing in some instances 1alllng OH OF
3c, and in others of SC. but with the e1cep'
fion of some low ordinary and ordinary,
nnwards of 500 bales OF which were taken
nv one party, the business consisted OF
such trifing lots that they can hardly be
regarded as fair basis for quotations, when
we accordingly omit. :.
Among the sales we heard of low ordin-
arv at l6ac, ordinary at TIC. low mlddllng at
22c and strict middling at 23tc. Our quota
tions last evening were l64Wl74c for low
ordinary. 1s4@l9io for ordinary, 21@2l4c
for good ordinary, 22@223c for low MID.
ding. 23M-c for middliDg, -0233c Tor
strict middling and --@232c for good mid
ding, which were quite low enough lsome
of them too low for the actual business,
but we remarked at the same time thai the
market closed with such 8 wide difference
between buyers and sellers that the ngures
given should be regarded to some extent as
nominal. In this particular parties are sun
as wide apart as ever, the accounts from
Liverpool and New York, as well as the fall
ing off in the receipts, tending TO connrm
factors in their position, while buyers are
unwilling to come forward unless at lower
rates.
