General
Exchange
Quotations.

For some time past leading holders have
strenuously commended for the outside figures
of our quotations or 5@3c more, and orders
of any magnitude, especially if for the better
qualities, could hardly be filled without having
recourse to their stocks, and paying the
prices claimed; but, at the same time, owing
to the limited demand, factors who were in.
structed to close consignments, and were con-
sequently compelled to press Sales found it
necessary to make liberal concessions in Or
der to accomplish their object. There has,
consequently, been good deal Of irregularity
and wider margin than usual, between the
prices realized in some cases and accepted in
others
There has been no change in this particu-
lar but in the marked decline at Liverpool
and New York, and our ruling above all
other Southern markets, as we'll as above the
parity of Liverpool. the tendency has been
more in favor of buyers. We have conse-
quently found it necessary to reduce our out
side figures s@4c, but without any reference
to the business of either to-day or yesterday,
retaining in most cases the outside rates to
represent the rates which would be claimed
for desirable lists of any magnitude in
the event of renewal of the demand. AT
present there is none for Liverpool, and the
orders recently executed for Mexico and the
North having been executed, there is none in
that direction, while buyers for Havre are
waiting for freight room for that port, or fur
ther development with regard to exchange
and prices.
