COTTON.


The market dragged along without
change during the past week. The condi-
lions remained unsettled and while there
was no inclination to advance values,
there was no indications of a decline. The
reason given for no Improvement in prices
is the covering demand from American
traders, as the European buyers contract
during June and July for fall shipments,
have been waiting the effect of the ex-
pected large crop to secure their supplies.
Speculation was dull. The lateness of the
crop will probably have an effect upon the
market, and when the idea of an immense
crop is dispelIed, there will be a reaction
in trade and very likely an increase in
values. The local market during the week
was dull and unchanged. The receipts
were unusually light, and the sales mere
ly nominal
