Spot cotton was in good demand, but
factors were asking higher prices,
which buyers, as rule. refused to pay,
consequently the movement was small.
Futures were steady at the opening,
and prices points lower to points
higher. In the trading the market sold
off few points, but the general trend
of prices was upward. The fluctua-
tons, though frequent, were narrow.
The market closed firm, at about the
highest of the day. Net gains were
March to July, 12@16 points and 3@4
points on the more distant positions.

crease their activity in the near fu-
ture. The position of sellers is very
firm one. The fact that stocks in sec
ond hands are in satisfactory condi-
ton is considered bullish factor.

Notwithstanding the fact that yes
terday was half holiday, cotton more
than held its own.
( The cables were extremely disap-
pointing and were it not for the fact
that Liverpool took such a gloomy
view of the situation, both New York
and New Orleans would have closed
higher.
AS it was, the English bears sent
cotton down points.
The continued light receipts, the fall
ing off of the worlds visable supply,
and the more than steady demand for
spots, steadied the backbone of the
American market, and New York closed
points up.
The local spot situation showed no
change, and quotations were posted,

in Savannah.
