THURSDAY EVENING, August l, it72.
COTTON-The only sale reported to-day
was bales, but yesterday, in addition to
the amount noted, 80 bales strict low mid
ding sold at 20c This makes a total yes
terdav of 50 bales. We remarked in our
last report that strict low middling had sold
at Ig3+c which would put good ordinary at
IS34 a lgc, and low middling at 1919 a 1880,
the outside figures in both cases for suict,
but added that the days business could
not be regarded as a sufficient basis Tor
quotations nor could we say that any more
could be bought at the above figures for
strict low middling. 1t has since transpired
that 30 bales sold at 20c, and the proper
quotation for low middling should have
been 1919 40, strict being quoted at l934c.
The Exchange reports quotations nolni-
nal" 1t repeats yesterdays figures OF I9t2c
for low middling.
The news TOT day of a further decline at
Liverpool of 3-lGd in uplands and l4d in
Orleans was calculated TO depress prices.
The amount on shipboard not cleared,
going on board and engaged for shipment
was set down this morning at 800 bales for
the North, which, deducted from the stock
then on hand by our running statement,
leaves 200 bales to represent the quantity
in presses and pickeries, unsold or awaiting
orders.
