New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-01-19
Average Exchange

Under the depressing influence of de-
cline of lsc at New York, the market
opened at irregular and easier prices.
Good ordinary was sold as low as 19c, low
mddling at 1873, 1894 and even 19'sc, and
strict do at 20lsc. Prices then rallied, on
and were subsequently strengthened by an
advance of &c in that market, and l-16d in
Orleans at Liverpool, and sales were made
at 1881 and 1884 tor strict good ordinary.
20, 20is and 20l4c for low middling, and
Dol. and 20asc for strict. We also heard of
the last as high as 2Ol4c.
The market was so nearly bare of mid
ding suited to the continental demand
that buyers with orders for such de-
scriptions were compelled to withdraw.
but light staple cottons of the same grade
could have been bought at II and 207sc,
and even at 20a.c. which. however, was re-
fused in several instances. The offerings
were fair. but not in proportion to the
amount of the stock unsold. and at the close
clean and desirable lists We're scarce.
The Exchange reports: Market opened
dull and irregular, and closed firm at
quotations. in which the only change is
a reduction of lsc in low middling, and
dropping the figures for good middling
