Hubbard, Price & Co, in their cotton circular,
say: Under the influence of continued light
receipts, both at the ports and at the interior
towns, the cotton market to-day has shown
hardening tendency. The continued demand
for legitimate trads for actual cotton has be-
come the most prominent feature of the
market, and near positions continue in conse-
quence TO show great strength, the difference
between February ana March contracts having
been reduced to T points, as against 81 some
two weeks ago"
