CoTTos-1he movement in the leading staple
still continues OF complete stand-st. Early in
the day one or two buyers we're looking for small
lots OF the better descriptions, but holders would
not accept the prices offered, as the early tele-
grams from the Northern and European markets
indicated no change whatever; uplands being
quoted in Liverpool firm at 95d. and Orleans mid
ding at lO4d. As the day closed, however,
buyers being unable TO find the qualities suitable
for their orders, and the Liverpool market re-
ported as closing easier, withdrew. No sales
whatever have trsnspired, while the market Is 10
too unsettled condition to obtain quotations.
