New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-05-16

We have given a wide range to ordinary,
of which there were sales to a fair extent
at prices ranging from 1874 a 10 and l9lRc,
while strict ordinary was quoted at goo
20Ac. There has been very little demand
for the kinds below strict ordinary, and
holders who are anxious to reduce their
superintendent stocks of such descriptions
have been compelled TO make concessions
to bring out buyers; otherwise they could
not have moved their supplies, and would
have had the prospect of holding them I'M
til the close Of the season. The demand
ran mostly on good ordinary and low mid
ding up to middling, and, under the in
huence of a further advance of lid, and
a very active market, with sales of e, 900
bales at Liverpool, these grades ad-
vanced fully lsc; 'in fact, in ex-
cel tiOnal cases, factors realized 4 more
than they could have obtained yes
terday. Good ordinary sold at dc and
2l4c; strict good ordinary at 2lasc and
81 lac; a better style, between strict good
ordinary and low middling at 81 sc; a still
better kind, but which could not be classed
low middling, at DE; low middling at 22lsc;
a high style of the same at 223sc; strict at
2l5c, and strict low middling to middling
at 22Bsc. We heard of very little inquiry
for the finer qualities. The demand was ac-
tive throughout the day, several lists chang
ing hands toward the close, and sixteen
brokerage houses participated in the bust
ness. The demand was for Havre, the con-
tinent, Liverpool and the North.
The Exchange reports: Demand active;
good ordinary l5c and low middhng l4c

The Picayltise cOrrects an error in its ac-
count of stock, as follows:
In our statement of the stock of cotton
by actual count, published in Tuesday
mornings PicGyttne, the cargo of the bark
AgOstinO b, comprising 1851 bales, was
omitted. The bark was boarded by our re-
porter, and in answer to his inquiry, he was |
told by the officers in charge that there was
no cotton aboard. This brings up the actual !
stock found on Saturday to 89,O73 bales, |
and increases the allowance for amount |
made up from waste, damaged, etc., to |
I3, 5ll bales.
