Little Doing Because of Holt
day, Liverpool Not Quite
Good as Due.

Friday afternoon. May 80.
With the New YORK cotton market
closed and the holiday feeling generally
prevalent nothing startling happened
In the market today. There was no
weather map and the usual Informal
ton channels were largely closed. The
situation at the peace table in Paris
M without particular development,
which led some to express the opinion
that the usual sources Of news were
closed by the censor. although this may
have been because there vas nothing
much TO tell, The German answer vas
in hand and was being given consider
alton, after which will come the reply
from the allies, and then a time limit
for a final answer from Germany.
in Liverpool the market started bet
ter than due, but receded somewhat
and at the finish Was uulet and steady
There was little In news from over
there, Spots were OF I points, mid
dling to 20, tOd, with sales $4,000 bales,
including 5000 American, Receipts
were 1000 bales, including 1880 Ameri-
can. Manchester advised officially that
large business vas doing in cloths,
while yarns were hardening,
~ usual Nl6IS was phN NttNe uiaHV-
sition to trade on this side when but
one market was open, July In New
Orleans opened at 7 points decline, at
8l.65c, touched 81, T5c and dropped to
81 SOC, later selling up to 81 .s0c. After
that the kept the option
between the limits. October moved
within a range of slightly more than
30 points and toward the close the list
was near the previous close.
In the spot department activity was
moderate, though some fairly large
sales were reported, New Orleans sold
1865 bales at a decline OF 12 points,
middling to 32,25c, In Augusta sales
were 1911 bales at no change in price
Business was generally restricted by
the holiday,
Weather news was limited, but the
forecast promised some more showers
by tomorrow for the western part Of
the belt, followed by cooler,
All markets win be closed Saturday.
The bureau report on condition is due
to come at 10 o'clock Memphis time
Monday morning,
In the local market sales were $500
hales, making total for the week ~, 500.
