COTToN.-Business was very light, and there
was but little interest outside of one or Two

Trading was simply local, and transactions
light. The total sales for the day were S26
bales. The official report Of the days business
at the Exchange was as follows: The market
opened at 10 a. m. quiet and unchanged, with
sales Of As bales. At ! p. m. it was quiet, the
sales being 202 bales. 1t closed at 4 p. m.
quiet. with further sales Of 70 bales. Below
