Der of factors and merchants appeared
at the Cotton Exchange this morning to
attend the sale Of the two new bales Of
cotton, which were auctioned of by A.

was very exciting, but the two bales
we're finally knocked down to James T..
Undertake, the representative Of Robb
& Peet, commission merchants and
bankers of New York, at 36c per pound
"a fair price. The Arkansas bale
classed as low middling and the Missis-
sippi middling. The staple was of fine
texture and well-giDned. The two bales
were shipped to New York. New York
spots were quiet and firm and futures
opened heavy, but at noon became firm.
Liverpool was firm. New Orleans was
