COMMERCIAL.

MONDAY EVENING, August 70, 1872.
COTTON-The sales to-day embraced l6C
bales, taken by four brokers, mostly at
sitter prices. Good ordinary sold at l8c,
strict low middling at 1914 and 1919, strict
low middIing to middliDg at 1919 a l934, mid
ding at 70. and a better style at 2O3s. A
! considerable portion Of the above was new
| crop, upward Of go bales of which were
taken by one buyer. New crop appears to
| command outside figures, but presented no
other difference from old In addition to
! the above, we heard of another triHing sale,
probably to 10 bales, which we did not
authenticate.
The supply was better, especially of the
new crop, which gave an additional stimu-
! lus to the demand, under which prices
hardened, but hardly sufficiently to require
! any advance on previous quotations Of Is a
! lSI4c for good ordinary, 1915 a 42c for low
middling, the outside figures in both cases
| being for strict. An offer of l0l4c was re-
! fused for strict good ordinary, held at a
| fraction higher.
The Exchange reports, "market frmer
! and prices shade better" 1t Omits quo
! tations for good ordinary and raises its
! figures for low middling to l94C, against
| 1878 on Saturday.
The receipts OF new crop yesterday and
| today embrace bales per jackson railroad
| noticed on Saturday evening", ! per
steamer st. John, l per Lotus No, ,, GS per
R. E. Lee, per Henry Tete and p per
| Lessie Taylor, in all l0O bales, making a
total to date of Us bales from the Mjssis-
siDpi valley and IS from TeXas-tOtal 2i3
bales, against 9 last year, of which were
from Texas.
The receipts by the Lee included l bale
shipped by Mr. IL. King, Of Monroe, con-
signed to Messrs. Levi s. Haas, which, we
believe, is the first out Of the OuaChita.
The amount on shipboard, not cleared,
going on board and engaged for
shipment was set down this morn
ing at $50 bales for the North,
which, deducted from the stock then on
hand by our running statement leaves 300
bales to represent the quantity in presses
and pickeries unsOld or awaiting orders.
The amount actually on sale, however, is
Jrihing, the bulk Of the stock being held
above the ruling rates, OrcOnsi5ting Ofkinds
for which there is 40 demand.
