COTTON.

There were no reported transactions al
the Cotton Exchange to-day, and from
the general appearance of things IL looks
like the market may suffer holiday dull
ness for a day or so. Attention has been
given by the trade more TO the winding
up of last years accounts during the past
few days than it has to active trading.
Buyers ere still held to limits, however,
which would keep them out of the mar
ket even IL there was any inclination to
trade. The receipts continue to be light,
as compared with the corresponding date
of last year.
The following were the official spot quo
tations at the close of the market at the
Cotton Exchange to-day:
