COTTON.

The close was quiet at a decline of Lilo
cent. There were sales of fifty bales for
the day. The market is still in a waiting
attitude, holders looking to the future for
a fulhllment of their expectations Eight
cents cotton is what is being looked for
and until there are strong evidences that
the market will not reach this figure, 1t
is not believed holders will show any dis
position to sell.
