The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1874-11-25
} OF CLASSIFICATION.
General

The market opened with general inquiry but
operations were restricted by most OF the pending
orders being shade below the rates which fac
tors were willing to accept, and the sales during
the morning hardly exceeded 1880 bales, after
which parties came together more freely and adj
ditlonal transactions to the oxtent of 5000 bales
swelled the entire business to the liberal amount
noted above.
Prices exhibited some irregularity. Mixed
lists short staple kinds, and the poorer qualities
were difficult to move unless at easier rates,
while even-running lists OF Low Mddlng and
the higher grades were firmer, and good staple
kinds continued to command sc above our out
side quotations.
The supply was moderate, especially of the
descriptions most in request, and in some cases
brokers were compelled to Withdraw from not
being able to ind the kinds wanted. There was
very little Strict Good Ordinary and Low Mid
ding to be had at the inside figures for these
grades. The market was strengthened by an
advance of 2-10 to 4-10 = cent in foreign ex-
change.
FREIGHTS-The market appears to be
steadier, without any marked improvement.
There is an abundance OF room on the
vessels on the berth, but masters of unen-
gagged vessels reluctant to so at recent rates.
