The small volume of speculation during
the past week caused a bearish feeling in
the market, Notwithstanding the gradual
advance under the demand from spinners
The weekly report of crop conditions
showed a poor start of the crop. Poor
stands were reported from nearly every
state. The cool nights have retarded the
growth. The local market was dull and
neglected during the entire week, and the
transactions were light. On Saturday the
prices jumped up lsc on all grades, on ac-
count of the advance in futures, but the
trading was of limited character On
Tuesday there was a decline of Lice with
light sales. After that the market con-
tinued duh and nominal up to the close
to-day. At the Cotton Exchange to-day

of upland cotton on hand is only 1902
bales, the smallest amount here at this

will be an addition of a few hundred bales.
