FRIDAY EVENING, July II. 1899.
COTTON-The movement to-day was at al
most a complete stand still. The offerings
were light and the INQUIRY continued
limited, buyers being unwilling to operate
unless at figures materially below the views
of holders. Hence the total sales reported
embraced only 81 bales in several lots. In
the present unsettled condition of the
market we are unable to give any strictly
reliable quotations, but submit the follow
ing as approXimating rates, say: Good Or
binary 29@29sc, low middling 30c, and mid
ding sic. The weeks sales sum up $50
bales, against 1855 last week. The receipts
proner, excluding arrivals from Mobile,
Florida, and Texas, amount to 472, against
277 last week, showing an increase of 1876
bales. The exports comprise bales to
Liverpool, 1873 to Havre, 1873 to New York,
and 1928 to Boston.
