COTTON GOSSIP.

There was little or no excitement at
the opening of cotton market to-day. The
first call Showed a quiet market, will,
prices unchanged to points higher.
Values soon developed a downward ten
deucy under local selling in the absence
Of satisfactory public interest.
The South was a fair buyer of March
and May contracts. While parties repre-
senting New England spinners furnished
some demand for the spring and summer
months The weaker public cables We're
attended by only 3 few selling orders
from Europe; and these went TO the more
remote position.
Commission houses bought in general
way while selling for short account pro
ceeded with caution. on the ground that
receipts were Vet too light 10 justify sell

ucar future is predicted.
