somewhat improved. At the close OF
last week, & advance was obtained, and
since that time quotations have been
revived, :hus advancing low middl;ng
1s and middling Is, with good middling
quoted = higher. This change. how.
ever. has not stimulated the demand in
the least, and the position OF the mar
ket since Tuesday has been more or less
nominal, and prices seemingly are
higher than the position of the market
should warrant. European markets are
pretty we'll stocked, judging from nd-
vices recently ut hand; ard good proof
that prices are too high is the falling of
in shipments. which shows that orders
from the other side cannot be executed
within the limits. Dealings in options
rather light, aud fluctuations nnd vulues
have been unimportant. Total sales Of
tue week have been III, ,2G3 bales, Of
which 10000 bnles were on contract,
and 8. l69 were for immediate delivery.
The market closed weak, on Ia basis OF
15l4 for low ,nidlling.
