New Orleans Market.

CoTToS-The sales to-day embraced
1890 bales, at rather weaker prices for
mixed lists and the poorer qualities,
while the better descriptions were firm
at the previous advance. Nothing.
however, transpired to require any
change in our quotations, which we
repeat, as follows; Low Ordinary 154
| @l64c., Ordinary l7a0l9c. Good Or
binary 2Oa@2lc., Low Middling 2I4@
2lac., Middling at 2240c., Strict Mid
dling--@224c., and Good Middling %
| &C.
The market opened with fair in
quiry but less spirit than yesterday,
and considerable business was done
during the morning at prices showing
no quotable change, but with the ad-
vantage, nevertheless, manilestly on
the side of the buyer. Later in the
day factors were. more confident,
while buyers continued 10 operate
pretty freely, taking the amount noted
above. The supply was only moder-
ate. Rigid classifers found it diff
cult to go on at our quotations., but
others reported pricesea shade easier
and considerable purchases were made
at figures which not have been ac-
cepted yesterday. H
