Cotton Review.

Sew Orleans. February Elm spite OF the
fact that this was II much broken-up week
in the cotton market, due to the two ho!i-
days, and that no great volume OF business
was done. prices held very steady and closed
at advance OF 1919 points last

week the market much OF n puzzle,
even to professional traders. The threaten
ed coal strike in England was one OF the
main bearish Influences OF the week. but
bears were unable to IL to much adYan-
tage and at no time lid they put prices
under last weeks close. At the lowest the
trading months were still 345 points over
last weeks close; at the highest they were
23I2S points above that level. The range
OF prices was only 1925 points
Toward the last OF the week the weather
played an important part In the trading
Wet weather waB reported over the larger
part of the cotton region. and along with
IL came complaints of serious delay TO farm
work. The new crop months particularly
were strengthened by this news. At no time
were the bulls aggressive, and OH several
occasions they we're credited with having
taken profits in rnther large way.
The spot market was quic; but closed
at IA not advance OF Lice pound, m1aiins
being quoted 107-l6c. against l9asc. last
week and ii1-i6c. this week last year.
sales on the SPOT amounted TO $500 bales
