CONN EKCEAL.

SATURDAY EVENING. March g. 1870.
CoTToN-The sales to-day summed up
1850 bales, at irregular prices, showing a
recovery of tc in good ordinary and low mid
ding, but no change in other descriptions.
We quote low ordinary at l540l64c; Ordi-
{ nary at IL @ls4c; good ordinary at 19s @20tc;
low middling at 205@2l!c; middling 2l4@
22c; strict middIing 2240-c, ana good
middling 23@-c.
In giving the above figures it is proper to
add that there were sales at 193c for good
ordinary, and 203c for low middling, but on
the other hand strict good ordinary sold as
high as 204c, and strict lew middling at
2llc. On the whole. the quotations given
accorded with the views of a majority of
buyers, as most nearly representing the mar
ket Stained lots, as general rule, could
not be sold unless at some concession from
inside figures. The demand ran mostly in
low middling, the improvement in which
was more decided than in good ordinary.
Prices are strengthened by the course of
gold, an improvement in foreign exchange
and more competition among buyers, and
the Generalization noted yesterday gave
way to renewed confidence among factors
and better feeling generally.
