 With fiuctuating market to con- tend with and with holders building up their expectations for higher prices. two large lots totaling 700 bales, were released by the factors in the local spot cotton market yesterday; Traaes mark. Although there was consider able of the staple offering. spots were firm and full quotations were asked. There was some en looking looking around a,a,to on standing the shortage of the crop, sales continue to be recorded at the present unusually high prices for this season
 Receipts into the local market con- tinue steady and approximately. $50 bales were received and stored inc the warehouses. About 15o bales of wagon cotton came to the square yes the cotton was received by rail. Prices on the street ranged from l3 1-2 cents early in the morning to 13 3-s cents around noon.
 The cotton market yesterday was . strange affair. First prices were d few points down and up until noon the market remained steady In a fore the close prices advanced about ten points and closed several points higher than Tuesdays closing figures.
 The market was rather narrow and featureless. The bears tried to use the consumption figures of EiIisons as factor to induce liquidation. The decline in the early morning was due to liquidation but the reports of the damage of the rains in the West to the crop together with the forecast of rain for the belt probably induced the advance at the close.
 December futures opened at 1869, three points down. This month went as low as ta.60 and then closed at It's highest at 1880. an advance. of II points over Tuesdays close. January futures opened at 1875, three points down, declined to 1861 and then closed high at 13.77, registering only a two points advance.
 The Liverpool market, due two points higher. opened quiet st . two points decline. Around noon the market was stiil quiet at net decline Of two points on June and July and three to four lower on other months. Later cables reported a further decline of another point. Spots were quiet at un- changed prices with sales given at B. o0e bales.
 The weather map showed general cloudy weather yesterday with rain st some points. The forecast Is for cloudy and warmer weather in the Western belt, cloudy and showers in the central and rain indicated for the A4stern section.
