The cotton market has been very dull all the
week. During the early days of the week there
was a slight demand, OF which holders took ad-
vants &c and advanced prices &c, but this appa-
rently checked dealings, and since Tuesday the
current rates have been barely sustained. The
difficulty experienced in transporting supplies no
doubt contributes to the dull condition Of affairs
the market Spectators and spinners are
not operating, while exporters desire to wait
for further Developments. and more encouraging
news from abroad. Choice lines would probably
be available at l-l60kc less than current prices,
but low grades are in large supply and pressed for
sale. The future of the market depends very
much on the receipts of the next two weeks,
though it s difficult to conjecture which way the
current will turn. Speculstors are very timd and
are rather disposed to wait until some new fea-
ture develops. The closing tone to values were
weak with indications of decline.
