COTTON ADVANCES
NOW QUOTED AT 10 I-Ie ON THn k LOCAL MARKET.
Very Little of the Flesey stnp1e is Being Sold. as Those Hold1ng are hopeful of Even Betl
 ter Price in the Future.

With a sharp advance of 2s points in futures yesterday the middiine auo- tation of the local cotton market also advanced 1-16 of cent, being quoted at ie1-16 cents. the highest price 1t has reached this season so far.
 The 10 cent wave which struck the market last week seemed to have cleared out most of the cotton which was being offered as the holders of tho fieecy, staple now are hOidinE for still higher prices. While according to most reports the buyers have already purchased nearly enough cotton for their May commitments.
 The advance is due. according to most authorities. to speculation and the Texas condition. which Is most ap- palling. Some new inquiries from abroad for cotton has also been report- ed,
 A mill man from Mississippi was in town yesterday and reported that there was poor demand nowadays for yarn and at the price cotton was now and what he would be compelled to pay for it, he was losing 1 cent pound.
 Very little cotton was offered on the local market yesterday but about 25o bales were released. the price varying from 10 to 10 3-s cents.
