The speculative dealings in the market
during the past week were moderately ac-
tive; but the general tone of the market
was unsettled There was an improved
demand from European spinners, and the
increased request from American mills
caused a strengthening of the tone of the
market throughout the south. The crop
movement was interrupted by the quar-
anune regulations in the southwest, still
the overland movement was heavy and
the supply coming in sight was large
The local market showed a slight ad-
vance during the week. On Saturday the
market opened at a decline of Lice from
Fridays closing, with the tone quiet and
sales only 30 bales. On Monday the ad-
vance in futures caused a demand in the
local market and the sales for the day
were 25l2 bales at unchanged quotations.
on Tuesday there was a decidedly better
feeling in the market and the price adj
yanced 1sc, with sales of 1920 bales.
Wednesday the strength in cotton con-
tinued and 1-l6c was added to the value
of all grades, middling selling at 15-16c,
with reported sales of 1893 bales. On
Thursday there was no change in the
quotations, but the market closed steady,

specuVely.
