The volume OF speculation In the Cot
ton Exchange was very small to-day, and
almost entirely Of a local character Inc
market after opening steady, at an al
vance Of 2d3 points, became most siug-
gish. There appeared to be p!enty OF
bulish advices, but they failed to IN
fiuence speculative outsiders. Inc carry
advance was due to the better class OF
cables than had been expected from Lon
don. but advices from the South pau
bullish average. The southern spot mar
ket showed strength, and the news from
the New England cloth markets was firm.
There was some selling attempted, on the
theory that the market was overloaded
with long cotton. The market yielded so
stubbornly, however, that the sellers be-
came afraid TO endorse their preparations
by selling 10 any extent From the hlgn~
est to the lowest prices, the swing or to-
days market was only matter OF
points, with the situation in the afternoon
OF the stupid, steady sort, althOugh es,l,
mates Of small receipts and forecasts OF
rains in tho South checked selling. Inc
market was finally quiet and steady ana
l to points net higher.
