close or the market was stronger, and holders
asked for midflling l5lIc.
SEA. .ISLAND.-In relation to the prospect Of the
sea island market we can simply say tnat the lu-
ture Is very unpr0mlsing and exceedingly dis
couraging The estimated stock In Liverpool Is
6+40 bales against 1854 bales corresponding ntrlod
last year, and the consumption is very moderate
This Is not so much consequent on the war as 1t
Is attributable to the successful culture OF the
staple elsewhere, which so materially completes
with our Gcorglas and Floridas. The market Is
still without shape, owing to the attitude Q. buy
ers, who persistently stand aloof at current ask
ing rates; and on the other hand, factors are
afraid TO Offer their stocks on parity with Liver
pool quotations. until the country generally is
prepared for the comparative low rates at Which
the staple viii rule the present year.
