range. Liverpool closed steady at an ad-
vance OF 1o-6itfli-6id on futures. and lad
on spots. discouraging feature of the
foreign market is the light spot demand
Sales were only 1000 bales today, and for
several days past no sales Of over 500
bales have been recorded at Liverpool. At
THIS time last year tho spot business was
between lo.0c0 and i2oo bales daily.
None OF these outside influences are hav-
ing any noticeable effect upon the market
now. however, and even the large move

regarded. Tho stste OF the weather ,s

on the horizon Is closely watched. Further
reports of damage by drouth caused the
bulls to don their war paint araiu today
