CoTToN-The market has been at stand still
throughout to-day. There were some few would
be buyers at lower prices looking around, but fac
tors were memorable, and operations have been
restricted TO As bales at irregular figures. In view
of the conflicting opinions OF holders and pur-
chssers, it would be useless to hazard any state
ment as TO ruling prices, and we therefore omit
our usual table of quotations.

SUGAR AND Observation-Disclosures continues to
be confined to retail sales, with very little inquiry

business, keep their figures up to a standard that
