Sea Island CCtton-The tone Of the mar
ket during the past week ruled Qu.St and
easy. There was fairly active business
done during the latter part of the week
at slight decline in prices. The sales
Tor the week were 26T bags Factors
claim reason to suppose the decline will
come TO halt. as the season is approach
ing when mills begin TO stock up with
Su.-.clsnt So1Soh 70 run Ihem until the
new crop is harvested. This will neces-
sarily create a demand, and is likely
TO stiffen values. Another feature is
prominent: that the expected decrease
planters preferring to raise uplands in
the new sections. will more than likely
stimulate mills to put in a supply at
once. The stock in first hands at present
is only about 12,00 bags. The market
