New Orleans Republican., 1871-03-26

Strict ordinary cold up to lie, and strict
strict low middling as high as l4c. The
market opened with only q moderate supply,
especially of clean, bright cotton, and the
higher grades, and more stringent preten-
siOns on the part of factors. which rather
checked the demand. A fair business, new
ertheless, was done during the morning,
partly at previous rates and partly at an
advance Of bc. Later in the day buyers
came forward with increased spirit and the
advantage was still more ON the side of
factors. especially after the receipt of the
late dispatch from Liverpool, which re-
ported an advance of Lied and sales of
$1,000 bales, and the prices paid indicated
the advance noted above. Clean white
cottons from their limited supply, com
manded dispropOrtionately high figures
compared with the general run.
The following is the report Of the Cotton
Exchange: " Small supply offering; active
demand at Ac advance on grades below
low middling."
