The market opened with better feel
ing and fair demand. New York was
steader, with better demand; mid
ding, Isle, and futures strong. Liver
pool was steady, with uplands at Ss@S3d
Orleans at sgd and sales Of 10000 bales.
New Orleans was quiet and easy, with
middlings at l7sc. A good feeling pre-
vailed in the market here, with a fair
demand for medium or bright cottons.
Holders offered freely, but in most cases
were asking full rates. Buyers were ac-
tive in making inquiries and were more
disposed to make purchases on account
of the 6rmness of the New York mar
ket. Several lots of low middlings
changed hands at l6l@l61c and mid
dlings at l7@c.
