COTTON.

While Il was reported there was consid-
cradle demand for spot cotton at prices
ranging from 1-16 to u cent above quota
tons. il is not known whether there were
auy sales of consequence at these prices.
An effort was made by one element to
mark all grades up 1-16 cent, but this did
not meet the favor of a majority of the
committee. Good middling was the only
grade changed, it being marked up 1-16
cent at the closing call a o'clock. The
demand at present Is an imperative one,
being mostly for cotton with which to fill
contracts for December delivery Now
that the slumps in the leading markets
have been partially recovered the more
hopeful look for better prices soon. I'm
less there are further British reverses in
the Transvaal, or other foreign condition
to influence the market, the local trade
see no reason for prices to tarry much
longer around the 7-cent point.
The following were the official spot quo
tations at the close of the market, at the
