CoTTOS.-There was altogether a better
feeling IN the cotton market during the week,
which was accompanied with a slight ad-
vance in values. Prices, however. were rather
irregular and unsettled. The recent reports
Of Brddssreets and Llso of the Agricultural
Bcreau show a bad condition of the crop
and low average in every State.
This had the effect of stimulating
buyers somewhat, but at the close outside
markets were weaker, particularly New \ ork
and Liverpool, which caused operators to hold
Of. The offerings of the new crop continue
on liberal scale, but there is considerable
storm and stained cottons coming giving am
ple evidence OF damage to the crop. The
sales for the past week foot up total of
ll.O37 bales. The following are the official
closing spot quotations of the Cotton Ex-
change.
