| were slightly dearer throughout the day
closing duh but steady. The market was nearly
| repetition of that OF yesterday; an early ad
vance, sustained with more or less vigor to the
| close, but with dealings on very moderate
| scale. The bulls attempted to make use of
| comparatively full receipts at Memphis, but
| with little effect. New England spInners are
| reported to be in no hurry TO secure stocks of
| cotton, believing that there will bs enough to
go around. In this view they are quite willing
| that the bulls should carry the load, and take
their chances in the matter of price. The
| early advance was due to stronger reports
| from Liverpool, but there was no supporting
incident after the second call. Spot cotton
