COTTON.

The past week was one of activity, eX-
element and buoyancy in the cotton mar
ket. The conditions were prominent, both
in America and Europe. At Liverpool and
New York the spot dealings were very
heavy, and futures were continually on
the upward turn. The rise in values was
closing last Friday evening. The hitherto
tagging portion of the cotton-trading cir
Gle fell in line and started in on general
buying scramble for both consumption
and speculation.
The local market fell in line with each
advance at the controlling markets and
an advance of fully &c took place during
the week. There was comparatively
small amount of local cotton received by
the factors and the offerings were quick
ly absorbed at the current prices. 1t is
reported that some of the local receipts
We're held for a further advance. Taken
altogether the week has been very sat
isiactory one, so far as prices were con-
cerned, but the volume of business was
somewhat limited on account of the offer
lngs being light. The market closed to-
day at sc above yesterdays closing. AT

at another 1-l6c advance, with further

bulletined firm and unchanged with sales
