tory of our Exchange and January sold At 7.sf,
the lowest price for that option ever corded.
The entire attention OF the cotton world re-
mans cen,ored ON the receipts. As long as pro-
ducers appear 40 anxious TO accept present
prices for their crop the trade must come to feel
a growing conviction that tho crop lisa larger one
than they had previously been led 10 believe.
After o'clock the market continued soft. clos
ing easy az the lowest OF the day. We think IL
may be said shat the market Is resigned TO the
expectation OF BIC receipts for the balance OF
the week ana smaller movement Will advance
prices.
