New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-05-23


good ordinary were made at yesterdays
prices, but under the favorable accounts
from LiverpoOl-the 1890 A. NJ. dispatch
showing an advance of l-l6d, with sales of
$4,000 bales, the $50 P. NJ. a further i'm
prOvement to the same extent, with sales of
10000 bales, and the 4:30 P. M. a strong
market at the previous advance, with sales
of %, 900 bales-factOrs raised their preten-
sions Is a lac, and, as the demand was
active for Russia and Havre, the subse-
quent business was in accordance with the
above quotations. A high style of good
ordinary sold at 81 lac; strict good ordinary
at 2l4B, 21a5, 2l15 and 2l55c 1.-THE last
an extreme rate); strict good Ordi-
nary to low middling at 2l5s
and q 7se; low middling at 2215 and 22Ac,
the latter with strong staple strict low
middling at 22A, 22as and 22l9c, and strict
low middling to middling at 221R and 225sc.
The demand ran mostly on strict good Or
binary up to strict low middling inclusive,
and both the higher and lower gredes were
in less active request Strict good ordinary
commanded disprOpOrtiOnately high prices
compared with average do, and we have
consequently found it necessary to give it
a wider range than usual. We also, by
request, introduce a quotation for strict Or
binary, which has been hitherto represented
by the outside figures for ordinary. Thir-
teen brokerage houses participated in the
business.

Havre. Shippers offer % and 7-l6d for
the former, and 7sc for the latter, but

chased in the days business.
