accommodation at the usual rates of in

The strong tone of the Liverpool mar
ket, with the increased sales, rather
stimulated sellers, however, and they
were firm on choice grades. Sales were
$50 bales. To-day there is a very fair
inquiry, principally on speculative ac-
count, ard better disposition to realize
among sellers in consequence of dull
market in New York. Sales up to noon
were 100 bales, including . lew ordinary
at lac, q ordinary at l5Bc, 10 low mid
ding at zoe, 80 middling at 2Olc. The
