COTTON.

The very unusual inclement weather did
not deter the market from advancing 1-16
cent on all grades and the tone becoming
firm. There was a fair demand consider
ing that there were no reports received
from New York. The exceedingly cold
weather throughout the cotton belt was
sufficient to judge that all cotton in the
fields was ruined. AT the Cotton Exchange
at the first, second and last calls, the
market was firm at the advance. The
sales reported were 100 bales at the first.
and bales at the second calls There were
no sales reported at the last call.
The following were the official spot quo
tatons at the close of the market at the
