RECORD TRADE IN COTTON
Years Delivery 1 1876, 800 Bales,
Local Exchange Reports.

The forty,frst annual report OF the New
York Cotton Exchange, Just issued, says
that the quantity of spot cotton handled In
the New York market last year was
greater than In any previous year. AL
though somewhat special and peculiar con-
ditions were largely responsible for this.
the report notes, the fact remains that no
other cotton market in the United States
has approached in the number OF bales or
cotton actually merchandised the volume
Of business transacted on tho local eX-
change.
Nearly 10 per cent Of the entire cotton
production Of the country was brought TO
this city for distribution, exclusive of cot
ton which passed through this port on its
vav 10 consumers The amount OF cotton
delivered on contracts during the year eX-
ceeded anything ever known in any contract
market In the world, the figures for the
calendar year 1910 being 1,19S'lo0 bales, and
for the fiscal year ended April 70 last
1.1s5.SGo bales.
Referring to the discussion regarding the
adoption Of the standard types OF cotton
grades fixed by the Department OF Asri-
culture. the report says:

sist wholly of Texas and Gulf cotton. WIN
