New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-05-19

The market opened quiet, with Ionly a
| limited demand, many buyers having with
| drawn in consequence of the advance in
| freights asked by masters. The movement
was also checked by sterling exchange
| being easier. The sales during the morn
| ing were consequently of very limited ex-
! tent, but later in the day buyers came for
ward more freely and factors were rather
| less stringent in their pretensiOns, in many
cases accepting offers which they would
| have refused yesterday. Ordinary to strict
ordinary sold at 1890; low middling at
| 221sc and 22Ae, the latter for good style,
and strict low middling at D 7-l6c. These
| figures indicate that the advantage was on
the side of the buyer, but hardly to a suf-
| icient extent to require a reduction in our
quotations.
The controlling element in the market was
evidently the course of freights. Yesterday
nearly all the room in ships on the berth
for Liverpool and HaYre was respectively
filled at 5-l6d and &c. To-day masters of
ships for LiaerpOOl put up their pretensiOns
to I'D, but we have heard of no engagement
at that rate, which would show 3-l6d ad-
vance, but we are told that SD and even
7-l6d was refused. This, of course, applies
to sail. A few hundred bales were taken
for Havre at 24c, yesterdays rate, but mas
ters now ask higher. By steam a small
shipment was made at I'D, against sd yes
terday
The Exchange reports Quotations I'M
