Hubbard. Price & Co. S cotton circular says
THE cotton market to-day has failed to develop
any new features Of interest and the record Of
fluctuation: shows but little change compared
with yesterday S close, although receipts have
been exceedingly heavy and almost double what
they were on the same day last year Trading
in certificates has been appreciably affected
thereby and the market has at times shown
considerable f1rmness. The bears have been
less aggressive in their attacks upon prices.
