edaired to-day includes a number of back or
49,. from, travellers and otherwise, and 1t is
,,octed that there will be very heavy
-lroment for at least the first half of the

Investors. There were no important changes

al, ruled steady. For conditions and closing
Snotations of the different markets the ap

tinued in about its previous form, being

and tbe market was kept bare OF the medium

for the entire week. The inquiry as a whole
wasOplv fair and buyers, as a rule, were
fonnd bidding fully at 5000. under current

cotton belt and the return OF the Oldham
strikers to work stimulated few OF the
larger buyers at the closing part of thesweek :.
