A decline Of Ac on spots at New
York was offset by an advance Of
$40 " cent on foreign Exchange,
but prices were depressed by buy
ers refusing to 20 on unless at some
concessions, and factors being an-
willing to suffer an inconvenient
accumulation Of stock, as we'll as by
u large portion Of the supply being
under instructions for prompt sales
at tho ruling rates.
CO1'TON-The sales to-day, as
far as reported, and not including
any on Saturday, summed up 800
bales, but we know Of additional
transactions, the particulars of
which were withheld which swell
tho amount to hardly less than 5000
bales and perhaps to more. Prices
Of the offerings were irregular and
easier, and even good staple kinds,
although in most cases maintain
ing their previous position, occas-
ionally exhibited less buoyancv.
We reduce our quotations tor Low
Middling to Strict Middling inclu-
sivc, Ac, but with the remark that
q considerable part of tho sales of
those grades was above their out
side ngurcs, and very little was to
be had ut the inside, while good
staple kinds commanded A04c a.
bove the outside quotations. We
give also the figures and full report
Of the Exchange as follows:
