The above is much the heaviest
business reported this year, the largest
previously being 94OO bales, on We'd
nesday, Nov. 10. The market opened
with an active inquiry, and continued
animated throughout the day, factors
meeting the demand freely at previous
rates for the lower grades, ard an ad-
vance of about &c. on Low Middlina
and the better qualities. The demand
was quite general, but an unusually
large portion of the business was for
Greaf Rritain. The supply at the
oreIing appeared to be moderate; but
as the demand was developed, the off
erings were more liberal. At the close
it would have been difficult to find any
Middling under 2i5c.
