markets caused a weakness in the local
market, and although the offerings of
local cotton has been very small, there
has been but little demand. Prices de-
clined 1-16c about the middle of the week,
and the tone became dull. The improv-
ing crop reports have been playing an i'm
portant figure in line of feature in the
futures markets, by which sellers have
been compelled to surrender advantages.
This has caused the declines during the
week
The following were the official spot quo
tations, at the close of the market, at the
