2l00 bales at foil prices. We continue TO

ding at 24l@-c.; and strict middling at
256D-c.
The market was unusually dull, only
few buyers coming forward, and factors
showing no disposition to stimulate the de-
mand by any concessions. In fact some
we're still more stringent in their pretcn-
sions than on Saturday.
