The market opened with only moderate in
uuiry, and the sales during the morning were Of
limited extent, nothing transporting to indicate
any uuotable VI ration, but while factors gener-
ally adhered steadtastly to their previous pre-
tensions, which checked the movement yet, in
some cases, offers were accepted which had been
refused yesterday.
Later in the day there was no material CT ange,
and the general movement exhibited but little
spiri, one blu or, however, taking 1000 bales The
sales summed up 24OJ bales as noted above, nine
brokerage houses participating in the business.
Prices were well maintained but showed a cha de
less strength towards the close than earlier in
the day. The decline at New York, especially in
futures, in the afternoon, in the face of encour-
aging kilograms from abroad excited some COM
