CoTToN-The market opened firm this morning
under the China's news, and factors appeared to
be generally unwilling to uncover their samples.
Some few lots were offered, however, which were
readily taken on the basis of 37D39c. for low mid
ding. Owing to the very heavy fluctuations in
the currency for some days past, and to the contn
ued falling off in receipts, well as ofthe receipts
of further unfavorable advces ofthe growing crop,
factors appear to be more disposed to hold on to
present supplies than to part with them at Offering
rates while brokers and buyers hold back, in anti
cipaton of lower rates, in view of the unsettled
condition of European affairs and of the low prices
now ruling at Liverpool. The sales to-day have
been restricted to 500 bales, which were divided
among four buyers.
