COTTON.


the close to-day:
COTTON.
The advance of nearly half a cent at
Liverpool this morning strengthened the
local spot market, and sent the prices up
&c at the opening. Later, New York de-
clined and the tone of the local market
became steady instead of firm, but the
quotations were unchanged. There was
good demand and sales for the day
amounted to 1,505 bales.
At the first call at the Cotton Exchange,
the market was bulletined firm at 1sc ad
vance, with sales of $40 bales. At the sec
ond call it remained firm and unchanged,
with sales of III bales. At the last call
at o'clock, 1t was steady and unchanged,
with sales of PA bales.
