Speculation in cotton was very slack
to-day, local traders having already
evened up their accounts in anticipation
Of the closing OF the New York Exchange
tomorrow and Saturday, and the closing
of the Liverpool Exchange tomorrow,
Saturday and Monday. Local covering
and liquidation upon about even terms
were features of to-day's trading. There
was very little outside interest either
one way or the other. after some foreign
buying orders had been filed. These or
ders made their appearance on the open
ing call. and with better English cables
than had been looked for. and light re-
ceipts, they caused steady opening AT
an advance of lg2 points. Later the mar
ket ruled easier and generally qulet:
From the highest to the lowest prices or
to-day the range was a matter or 4
points on the more active posluons.
Weather news, while somewhat CONNECT
ing made bullish impression on the
market. The official map indicated frosts
for parts of the Atlantic localities, but
elsewhere conditions were, for the most
part. favorable, and planters. were re-
ported TO be pushing field-work energeti-
cally. The market was finally STEADY
and | to ) points net higher.
