The cotton market yesterday was
practically at a staudstill as every
thing depends upon the monthly Gov.
eminent report for November, which
will be published tomorrow morning.
Upon this will depend the rise or fail
of the market, and various are the
opinions expressed by Americus buy

able effect of this report. With the
recent freeze, which killed every Res-
tige of the top crop, it would seem
that there should be a material ad-
vance in the price of cotton.
