EsroAx STANDARD OF CLASSIFICATION.
General
n--A-A.--

The $50 bales noted above consisted mostly
of Low Middling stained at 124c, but there
was some additional inquiry which proved to
be without results. factors refusing to make
the concessions claimed Low Middling was
reported ss low as 13c, which reduced rate
was still above the limits of some of the pend
ing orders.
At the same time the bulk of the stock,
especially all descriptions above Low Mid
ding, was steadfastly held by factors at their
previous pretensions and it would have been
difficult to fill an order of any considerable
magnitude unless at our outside figures for
Low Middling, or at 144@l4s for Middling.
Under these circumstances quotations may
be considered as nominal. The largest hold
ers were inspired with increased confidence

are decidedly discouraging and express good

of the recent excessive rains.

able, reporting Liverpool firm at previous
rates, with sales of 1000 bales, and New
