There appears to be no abatement of
demand for spot cotton in the local mar
ket that is for higher grades, for had it
not been for the anxiousness of exporters
over the poor prospects of securing de-
srable grades, 1t is possible that We
would have had to chronicle the story
of a lower market today. In the early

The continued strength in the spot mar
