COTTON.

The bulls were in control of the cotton
market for the past week and specula-
tons were feverish and exciting. F'luc-
tuations We're quite sharp on each day,
but the result always showed gain at the
close. The rise during the week was
about 50 points. The local lspot market
moved up along with the advancing fut-
ures; Though the offerings were limit
ed, there was a fair demand with the
mmndertone of the market very strong.
The movement continued slow, showing
mat the crop is even later than 1t was
expected it would be.
The factors and buyers are returning
and preparations are being made to open
up business with a vim when it does
start. The advancing prices for cotton
nave stimulated the confidence of oper-
at0rs, and created buoyant feeling in the
general trade.
