COTTON.

THE cotton market was unchanged to-
dav With the advance on Thursday,
which was the highest for any one day
far weeks. the market was in position to
rest II is generally believed among the
trade that further advances will be made
shortly. The bullish feeling is based on
the strong statistical position of cotton,
end the abundant evidence that the crop
viii he a short one. The prospective de-
rnand is a strong factor with the bull ele-
m4nt. Even buyers see an advancing mar
ka+ ahead and admit the probability of
rs moving up considerably before a great
while.

II the farmer could have gotten the

instructed the commission merchant
TO hold their cotton, that they believed
II would bring better prices. " ho after
