WEEKLY SUMMARY, BY GREGG & MARTIN
"Wednesday Evening, Feb. 1.-THE market opened
this morning with good demand at 241l l25c. for gooc
ordinary and low middng q i l925tzc. The offerings
were, however, light, owing mainly to the refusal
the Southern Pacific railroad for the past several days
to receive and deliver cotton per former custom
which has caused heavy loss upon the part of ship
pcrs, and esscned very materially the profits of the
merchants and factors who have been ignored by their
action. Gold weak at 1@614 @l371l.
