 Memphis, Oct. 31.-Further ad- vances of 1-8@1-4c were reported from different markets in the cotton belt yesterday. Holders were report ed firm with no desire to part with their holdings except at improved values. Demand continued good, how ever, and sales were generally large.
 In the local market quotations were unchanged at 6 5-8c for middling and sales for the day totaled 4,5OO bales. For the week sales were 23,6OO bales. decidedly the largest weeks business of the season.
 The recent good demand has come largely from exporters and exports for the week have run higher than for any other week of the season. The total to all countries was 1 52.479 bales. Of this amount the continent of Europe got 59,315 bales, showing the effect of the safety of cotton from interference on the part of English warships. The effect of this policy was further manifest in the interior Where large purchases were made for foreign account, and this fact should make itself felt in increased exports for the immediate future.
 Weather over the belt was favora ole for picking and recent frosts have, no doubt, opened many bolls, with the result that the harvesting should pro ceed on an accelerated scale.

that he took a somewhat soelalistie
