COTTON.

The market closed Qulet ana nrm, Win
sales of 1853 bales. Low niddling was
marked up &c. bringing the price to 67sc,
and good ordinary &c, bringing the price
to 63sc The reason for the revision is the
scarcity and the consequent demand for
these grades. AS there was no storms this
year to damage the crop ma ter1ally most
of the cotton Is of the better grades. The
advance prices are not apparently having
much effect in stimulating business.
Holders are looking for the figure OPP
posite good middhng, and until then some
believe the holding back policy will be
maintained.
