SATURDAY EVENING. April g. 1870.
CoTToN-The sales to-day embraced oo5v
bsles at easier prices. showing falling on
in some descriptions OF s04c, but without
general deciiUe. We now quote low ordl,
nary at l5s0l7c: ordinary at 1S619c; good
ordinary at 2O5@2lc; low middliDg at 212@
22c: middling at -@229c; strict mddlng
at 22i6-c, and good middling st -@234c.
The market opened dull and dropping,
BUYERS claiming concessions which factors
would not admit, and subsequently, on the
advance in gold at New York, the latter be
came still more confident, and were quite
stringent in their pretenslons. Stili later,
however, on the demand subsidlng, prices
exhibited a good deal of unsteadlness, and
for the rest of the day showed increasing
weakness. Sales of strict good ordinary
were reported as low as 203c, low middllng
at Fl lc, middling st 224c, and strict mid
ding at 22ic: but these transactions were
rather exceptional, and the quotations we
have given accorded with the views OF
msjority Of the buyers. AS the advance Id
sterling was equal 20 !G3-f6c Il IL IN cotton,
the prices paid we're proportionably
cheaper.
