lists. IRuTes.

The market was depressed by the Liver
pool and New York dispatches, and the de-
mand limited only few buyers coming
forward. while they claimed concessions 70
which most factors would not submit. In
fact, most of the business was done before
noon. Low middling sold at 2l9sc, hut,
also. at II as. and was even reported as low
as II u. Strict low middling WAS reported
as low as II he Our quotations are predi-
Gated from actual sales, but some authorities
contended that the transactions below Il l2c
were exceptional and should not be ac-
cepted as basis of quotations As the bulk
of the stock was held higher, only a mode
rate business could have been done at our
quotations; but factors who were compelled
to realize could not have obtained more, nor
could hardly have forced sales unless at still
further concessions.
The Exchange reports " Market dull and
irregular Factors and buyers apart" Its
quotations are reduced lsc on all grades.
