COTTON.

The receipts of cotton at Savannah and
at all of the ports SO far this month have
been larger than ever before for the same
| period. While the sentiment has been
bullish, speculation has been light. Daily
| fluctuations have kept the market irregu-
lar and curtailed spot buying to some ex-
| tent. Cotton has been rushed to market
as money has been hard to secure to hold
| it at the plantations. If the movement
| drops off soon or an increased demand
| springs up it is expected that prices will
materially advance. Present prices are
about 24c below what they were this time
| last year
The local market during the past week
| f1uctuated within range of 1sc, with the
sales comparatively light. On Saturday
| the market declined 1-16c, with sales of
1,2d bales; on Monday another 1-16c was
| added to the quotations, with sales of liz
bales, but on Tuesday there was a decline
of Lie, with sales of 1880 bales. Wednes-
| day the market remained quiet and un-
| changed, with sales of only III bales.
| Thursday the market won't off again 1-l6c.
