New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-05-09

| Although the sales were of such trifing
extent, there was some inquiry, and it was
! cOnjectured that buyers would have gone
| on at decline of l4e, say on the basis of
2l34c for low middling. Factors, however,
although prepared to make some cOnces-
slons, were unwilling to accept the offers
made. For example, offers of BE for a list
OF about 200 bales strict middllng, and 23l4c
for $50 good middling, were refused, the
former being held at 23l4c, and the latter at
235sc. The actual sales were on trifing
| lots to six brokers. The market was de-
pressed by decline at Liverpool of l-l6d
in upland, and sd in Orleans, which was
only partially cOunteracted by the advance
In sterling exchange.
