COTTON.
COTTON,

the demand good and the transactions
by factors upon a satisfactory scale.
Sales of 1,176 were reported. Spots were
in demand because of the parity be-
tween that and the f. o. b. market,
and all things being equal cotton on
the spot is, of course, preferable. Good
middling on the spot was offered freely
at 3-16c, while for country cotton
buyers were bidding 5-16c, with some
difficulty in getting it at this price.
Notwithstanding the parity between
spots and f. 0. b cotton the demand
for interior cotton was good, and the
tendency decidedly upward. Quota
lions were; +. G.. NJ, 7-16 to size,
and G. M. 8 Sis to 8ssc. Towards the
closing hours, when traders were leav-
ing the exchange for their offices, sales
were made on a basis of S3s for good
middling. Cotton futures at New York
closed very steady, 3 to points up.
The following were the official spot
quotations at the close of the market
at the Cotton Exchange to-day:
