New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-05-17

The market opened with only limited
inquiry, the immediate demand having
been mostly supplied by yesterdays heavy
business, when fully $3.50 bales changed
at advanced prices for the good ordinary
and low middliag. Buyers consequently
stood aloof, but factors showed no DISPOSE
ton to make any concessions from quoted
rates. In some cases those who had really
asked Ae more were willing to abate lsc,
but were still lsc above the current prices.
After the 4:3O p. NJ. telegram from Liver
pool, reporting the market strong and up
lands Lied dearer, with sales of $1,000
bales, and the 3 P. M. dispatch from New
York noting an advance of lse in that mar
ket. they were still mOre'stringent in their
pretensiOns, and the market closed steady
at our quotations. Among the sales we no
ticed ordinary at 1874 and 19c, middling at
23c and strict middling at 23Ae.
The Exchange reports: Market steady;
demand moderate at unchanged prices"
