cotton observsbis, which appeared 70 be seeking
buyers at the very low price Of last week Un-
der this very reduced basis Of trade il our great
staple, it cannot be expected that a money
market offers for review. The weather is most
favorable for out-oEdoor movements, bat, as ne

no sales qaotea, State bonds of the Old issues
are firm at IS 70 90. The position Of the gene
