The New York market declined and
closed at 20Ic for middling yesterday,
which fact, taken in connection with the
extremely light demand compared to
that of the day previous, caused some
uneasiness on the part of sellers, which
was increased this morning by the open

buyers, offering their lists at prices fully
&c below the prices asked yesterday.
Buyers, seeing their advantage, were
cautious and purchased only where they
obtained bargains. Sales up to noon

ranging from l4s to l5ic for ordinary,
