COTTON.

The greatest strength in the cotton mar
ket during the past week. came from Eu-
rope. The market improved during the
early part of the week, and there was
more disposition TO buy on the part of Eu-
rope. owing to the belief that the new
crop will be SO late in coming to market
that supplies must necessarily come from
the remaining stocks of this crop. A
bearish feeling has existed regarding the
new crop. and large sales have been made
for southern account for delivery next
year. During the past few days the mar
ket has been lower on account of the lack
OF speculation, but the stimulus given by
the foreign demand has kept it from go
ing lower than had been expected.
The government crop accounts have not
been good and they show almost conclu-
eively that the crop is about three weeks
later than last season.
The local spot market during the past
week was quiet. Early in the week there
was an advance of 1-16c, but a reaction
took place Tuesday and the quotations re-
manned at 73s cents as a basis for mid
ding, up to the close to-day. The entire
sales for the week were only 40 bales
The receipts for the week were fairly
large, being increased over the previous
week.
The following were the official spot quo
tations, at the close of the market, at the
