Average Exchange

The demand was fair, but operations were
restricted by light supplies, especially of
low middling, which was scarce, and held
disproportionately higher than other
scarce, but not in as much demand as
low middling. At the close it was difficult
to find average lists Of the latter under
23c, but it proved difficult to obtain for
such more than 227sc. Brokers who had
orders at 2234c were compelled to retire.
Low ordinary sold at l8l4c, strict good or
binary to low middling, early, at 2224c;
middling at 23l5c, middling to strict mid
ding at the same, and strict middling at
237sc.
The amount on shipboard not cleared,
going on board and engaged for shipment,
was set down this morning at $4,000 bales,
which, deducted from the stock then on
hand by our running statement, leaves
about $4,000 bales to represent the quantity
in presses unsold or awaiting orders.
The Exchange reports: Demand good
at improved prices. Low mldTdling and
middIing exceedingly scarce" Its quota
lions are raised lac on good ordinary and
low middling, and lsc on middling.
