COTTON.

The local spot market was dull and life
less during the entire week. The trans
actions were light and merely nominal.
Ii was evident that the spot business is
about wound up for this season in the
local market. The quotations advanced
along with the ups and downs in the
futures market but there was little at
tention paid to the spot trade. On Tues
day there was an advance of 1sc, the rise
being effected by the squirt in futures.
There were no sales reported, however,
at the advance. The prices remained un-
changed for the balance of the week, with
the tone of the market dull.
The following were the official spot quo
tations at the regular call of the market,
at the Cotton Exchange to-day:
