Scarcely has the cotton market been
so dull before this summer as IL was To-
day. There was not much of anything
in the way of news from abroad, or
from the cotton belt TO furnish any new
basis upon which to make operations.
Hardly an order reached the market
from any point Of the compass; outside
traders were quite destitute of confidence.
in view of this situation, and did very
little business between themselves. As
consequence, the transactions OF the
session were extremely small. The en-
tire scope OF the variations was q matter
of only points. The market opened
with prices unchanged 10 1 point lower
and lost | or points more. In the after
noon there was a little sign OF recupera-
ton, and prices slowly drifted back TO
about SafnrllNfS lqNql This due
to covering, on fears that the market
might have been OversOd, with prices
already exceptionally low. The market
was finally quiet and net unchanged to
/ point lower.
