Gent Quotations. Elk. @.

The market opened with fair inquiry, but the
movement being checked by moderate offerings
of the kinds wanted, and the stringent preten-
eipnB of factors, the sales during the morning
hardly exceeded 1900 bsles, after which the
\ movement became more lively and further tran.
sactons were reported to the extent OF 4450 bales,
making a total for the day, as noted above, OF
$3.50 bales. As q general thing prices ruled more
in favor Of factors, with o manifest leaning to
outside figures, but without showing any quot
able advances. In some cases however buyers
were compelled to pay q faction more, at least for
desirable lots, say lie for Good Ordinary for
Low Middiing, l2c for Middling and 1870 for
Strict MiddIing, but the improvement was not
sufficiently general to require corresponding
advance In our quotations. The falling off In the
\ receipts had evidently decided influence in
making factors more stringent in their preten-
aions, and the market was also strengthened by
mo encouraging tenor OF the dispatches which
reported Liver pool firm at previous rates, with
Gales of to- 900 bales and arrivals opening a. au
advance Gil 1-l6d, but subsequently reported
x4uieter. Manchester steady; havre unchanged,
holders asking an advance, which buyers refused
10 pay, and New York closing at an advance Of
I-l6c On spots and 1-10001S-l00c In futures.
