An excited turn in the cotton flu
lures market was the feature on the
exchanges to-day. The turn was one
characteristic of the speculator. for it
took a majority of the trade unawares
and was not fully appreciated until
the gains extended from $50 to $500
per bale. The rise was in the sum-
mer positions. The details of the
movement appear below. The local
spot market remained firm and I'M
changed. In the f. o. b. market very
little cotton was offering.
The turpentine market continued to
show strength, with the closing firm
at 47Ac. an advance of nc on yester-
day, with the entire of the offerings
absorbed. The demand appeared to
more than equal the offerings, and be-
fore the ,after-closing the offerings were
gone. The market showed strength of
character that promised better,
though the trade appeared well con-
tent with the present without antici-
pating the future.
Resins closed firm and unchanged
from yesterday. The demand was good
for lots containing pales, which were
quickly taken by exporters While the
demand is not brisk for lows, they are
taken in some cases. The wholesale
markets closed steady and mainly un-
changed. Details of the markets fol-
