SUMS cotton report: Cotton advanced
to points. c,osing quiet and steady,
with sales OF $500 bales:
ro-day's features: A slight advance took
place. In spite OF some drawbacks. Tor
Instance, the speculation was light, the
spot markets here and abroad were duii;
Manchester was lifeless, Fall River ana
Providence were In about the same pre-
dicament. and the crop news was gene,
rally favorable. Good rains wore reported
al Bennettsvile, s. G.. The stocks or raw
cotton held by northern mills In this
country. and also by mills on the Conii-
nent OF Europe, are larger than usual.
Everybody looks for the biggest crop on
record during the coming season. AZ the
same time the statistical position ~ well
known TO be strong. Liverpool to-day
was higher. Leading New YORK bulls pulls
gpicuously strong The receipts were
small the exports OF late have been
rather liberal, print-cloths have latteriy
been pretty steady. and some descrip-
lions OF cotton goods have sold trins
more freely. Good commercial paper. u ~
stated. commands q ready sale. The crop
outlook in the Carollnas and parts OF
Georgia and Texas might be better. In
sects are complained OF IN Texas and
dry weather on the Atlantic seaboard.
Tho truth IT, however, that both bulls
and bears are practically resting on their
oars. awaiting future developments. A
little covering to-day and some support
from bvllish interests caused moderate
advance.
