The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-11-04

II was quiet week in the cotton mar
ket. The receipts were the smallest for
any corresp onding week for the past three
years. While the sales for the week were
3,2S7 bales, there was very little buying
done by exporters, who are not in the
market al present. AS previously stated
spinners are not willing to pay what the
| interior is asking, and for that reason Of
ferings are not being disposed of very rap
idly by brokers. a change is anticipated
soon, however, as it is generally believed
spinners will enter the market, and that
the demand will then carry prices sky
ward.
The following were the official spot quo
