COTTON.

An Improvement in transactions was the
feature of the market to-day, the sales
OF spots being 1907 bales. While consid
cradle of the receipts thus far have been
f o. b. shipments, it is said this is not
entirely the cause of the comparatively
light sales Factors entertain the hope
that prices may improve and the antici-
patton of this has helped to lessen activ-
itv. The receipts to-day were 1853 bales,
against 5,012 bales for the same day last
year Receipts since Sept. l have been
1851, against 81 1863 for the same period
last year.
The following were the official spot quo
tations. at the close of the market, at the
Cotton Exchange to-day:
