MONDAY EVENING. November "a 1870.
CoTTON-The sales to-day summed ND
10000 bales-the heaviest this year-at
easier prices in the morning, but steadier
subsequently. Under the circumstances we
repeat our quotations, as follows: Ordinary
l2la 013lhc; good ordinary l4as elise;
low middling I4si a 5lsc; middling ISIS q
15lsc, and strict middling 1874 0157sc.
Although we report no quOtable change
in prices there was some diversity of opinion
on the subject, various buyers quoting low
nliddling at l4aa 015, l43l a 15isc and l47s a
l5lsc. One assured us that he had been
unable to find any under l5c, but We pre-
sumo he must have been unusually rigid in
his classification. Another on the other
hand reported sales of strict low Middling
at l5c, and strict low middling to middling
at l5lsc. Another stated that 147sc was an
extreme inside rate for low middling, and
another that he had bought and could buy
more of that grade at l434c During the
morning, sales were made at decline of lsc.
but after the noon dispatch from New York.
quoting isc higher, factors assumed renewed
confidence, and as the demand was active
had no difficulty in realizing Saturdays
figures.
