to become easier so long as cotton is being
piled up in the sheds,as indicated in dai..y;
increase in stock on hand.
Cotton Experienced another quiet day
yesterday, there being a disposition to let
90 at quotations for better grades and
reasonable concessions for the lower and
off-colors. The demand was only mod
crate, which accounts for the falling off in
transactions reported. Receipts, local and
at all points, continued heavy, and have
much to do in causing the prevailing
dullness. The market closed with mid
ding quoted at 9lc, and sales of 2200
bales-1450 to exporters, 80 to spinners.
Receipts, 1859 bales; shipments, 1920 bales,
