New York, January 8.-The cotton
market was quiet but steady today,
closing steady at a net advance of

were estimated at 175 900 bales.

said that in some cases recent curtail

ical enough to prevent an accumula-
tiCn OF goods. Exports for the day
were heavy, exceeding port receipts
by about $1,000 bales, and the large
amount reported on shipboard suggest
a further heavy clearance in the near
future. Bombay was said to be buying
