Cotton.
The increase in the movement at the ports
Is undoubtedly due to large shipments from
the interior towns, but nevertheless the effect
of the receipts has been TO weaken the mar
ket and cause a general liquidation of the
COTTON bought on the recent advance. About
half OF the Improvement has now been lost.
The market has weak undertone in spite of
the buying by parties who so literally sold the
market during the past advance. The
feeling is one of Encouragement on
the part Of those who anticipated a light
movement this week, and although the prices
IN the south have been only slightly changed
curing the past few days, there is an uneasy
feeling and the demand is very slow. The
entire sales Of the week in the local market
m re-
NAMED quiet at nc until Tuesday when
there was decline Of 1-16c, followed by fur
ther decline of 9-16c on Wednesday. The
prices have remained unchanged up to to-day,
mlddling being 74ac. There was no business
done on the Exchange to-day, a general holt
oay being observed. The statistics of the
weeks business were, however, made up, and
Geographic reports were received during the
morning on Change, where members assem-
oled ony 10 be informed of further decline
al the controlling markets.
The otnclal quotations at the closing of the
market to day were quiet and steady as fol-
