DSSSAAAoNA
COTToN-The sales to-day summed up
$500 bales, at irregular prices, which were
firm before the receipt of the BIS p. NJ. dis
patch from New York, but softer subse-
quently, without requiring any change in
quotations, as follows: Ordinary 1917 q l3c;
good ordinary 1885 a 14c; low middling l4ls
@l4aso; middling at l4a4 l47sc, and strict
middling at Is @l51sc.
Strict middling sold at 14as. 147-l6 and
l41sc 1.-THE last of which should have been
the outside figures in our quotations last
EVENING", but also as low as l4hc; average
low middling at 141s and l4M; middling as
low as l4ss, and in an exceptional case at
l4ls, and strict middling in exceptional
cases under Is. Toward the close there
was manifestly more anxiety among factors
to realize, and none but strong descriptions
of middling and strict middling would have
commanded the outside figures quoted for
heaviest yet reported-had depressing in
fluence, as well as the latest kilograms from
New York.
