The coming week promise, to be quite b, lively ns
the part one hns been. Apart from the fuel that the
crowd isfteadllyswelling, there are special attrac
tions for this week that will make It notable.
To-day at 12 o'clock the treasurers of the New
England mills will arrive for a three week???s stay at
the exjKKiItlon. They will come in good style,
???and the result of their visit will
be of more nctuul importance to Atlanta than any
thing else perhaps that will occur during the exj*>-
.-sitiou. A most attractive programme lias been ar
ranged for their reception mid entertainment.
The Georgia Kihlhlt.
In spite of the failure of the legislature to ap|lto-
priflte anything for the Georgia exhibit, Commls-
--loner IIcHdvrson ,wlth the assistance of I)r. Cary
ami other gentlemen interested in state and local
fairs, has collected a wonderful exhibit of the
n agricultural resources of Georgia. This exhibit 1
now la-ing arranged in the gallery at the centre
???of the main building and It is enough to make any
???Georgian proud of his state to see what is gathered
there. Several car-loads of goods from Macon and
. IraGrango are yet to arrive, and it will be Wedncs
day morning before the Georgia agricultural ex
bit,it is fairly in |w>slti??n. After that the empire
state need ask nothing in comparison with any
other state that has an exhibition here.
The Goveraor*

???Committee appointed to wait on them. Governor

before the party left the Kimball for the ground
there was an elegant lunch served ill the breakfast
room of the hotel, which was highly enjoyed.
The jMirty were then taken in carriages to the
grounds and shown over the vast variety of exhib
its there displayed with evident interest in every
feature of the great show.
There were fonr visiting governors, accompanied
l>y Governor Colquitt, who did the honors of the
???occasion superbly. The most elaborate
appearance was made by Governor Iligelow, of
Connecticut, who came with his full stair arraye
in sitjierh uniform. The staff consisted of Adjti

On the staff of Governor Hoyt there Is only Ger.
???oral i.ittn.
Governor Jarvis and Governor Blackburn are here
vilhout a regular staff.
Colonel Hall Hunter, who is on the staff
f Governor Blackburn, *w??s in the city day-
fore yesterday and expected to be here to pnrtiei
'te its tin, festivities, but was called away on busi
less.
After the rounds of the various buildings and v
rious pleasant incidents, the governors were take
to Judges???hull, where they received several thou
.sand callers, introduced by Governor Colquitt and
Director-General Kimball.
When the receptions were over, the distinguished
visitors were conducted into the hall, where a great
???crowd eagerly awaited the speeches.
There was from first to lust such attention and
respect paid to the guests of the city us must have
-called forth tlieir appreciation.
The exercise???s in Judges??? hall were of very great
-interest, and nil who were present have reason to
???congratulate themselves.
The vast crowd passed in at the side res,ms in the
judges hall, and each man was in turn, introduced,
<o the visiting governors. This over, the governors,
their escorts and a number of our distinguished
???citizens formed into line, marched into the hall
and ascended the platform. Moser???s beautiful pic
ture was unveiled. As the eyes of the great
audience fell upon the handsome painting, a thrill
of admiration filled every beholder, and a murmur
of admiration was heard on every hand. The
moment for the commencement of the exercises
had arrived, and in a neat speech of a few words
Director-General Kimball introduced Governor Col
quitt, who arose and said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: By the people of Georgia
amt bv the cllktcns of Atlanta 1 am commissioned
to greet and to welcome yon. 'lost gladly do 1
friendly rivalry. God grant you all success is the
prayer of the people of Connecticut.
Governor Hoyt, oi Pennsylvania, was in
troduced and said:
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: There
are so manyuvenues which one might take even in
expressing his simple thoughts and Sentiments of
???iigratulation that I hardly know which route to
lopt. I want to assure your governor that I no
longer need any assurances or tender of lip service,
and that I sneak for all your guests when I say that
eartily and cordially we accept this splendid hrw-
tality which is offered us on all sides. Why,
don???t know how tall an Ameri-
tn citizen ought to be. I don???t know how
much an American citizen ought to weigh, but when
I reflect on my citizenship in this great country, I
feel that no exposition is tall enough nor broad
nough to hold us, and I have distinct authority to
.under the well wishes and congratulations of four
million and a quarter of the men of Pennsylvania
to the men of Georgia! It is your business and
mine, mid of your people and my people, to afford
every facility in our power to add to the welfare of
our common country, and to build up American
civilization
The speaker then went on to say
that Pennsylvania might have gotten the
stirt of Georgia, hut that she would have
to wake up and look to her laurels or she would be
lienteu. The sjiccch was well received, and was
closed amid loud appLAise.
Governor Jarvis, of North Carolina, was intro
duced. and made a splendid speech. He said:
My heart is too full for utterance. I have seen the
evidence* here to-day that for years I have been
struggling to help bring about, that 1 have been
hoping to see???tile material prosperity and ad
vancement of the south. Atlanta, distinguished us
she lias been in years that are passed and gone as a
scene of struggling armies! however much that may
have gained her a name 111 the history of oar coun
try, these memories must, in the presence of the
grand achievements oi the arts and sciences and
)>eace, lie buried and forgotten forever. [Ap
plause.] My friends, I so much rejoice that the
soars that were made by the tramp of these armies
have been honied. I rejoice tha. everything of bit
terness, of strife is gone. It was iny good fortune
to meet upon the historic ground of York-
town the people of all tills country of ours. They
were from New York and Maine and Rhode Island???
from the north, the east, the west and the south.
We met uiHiu that sacred soil as the jieople of a
common country, and as we met theie the spirit of
our ancestors, tnc spirit of a hundred years ago
came over us. and we shook bands witli the com
mon flag II.ailing over us and determined that for
ever hereafter we should vie with each
other in our devotion to our country
anil in developing the material things of the land.
[Applause.] I mentioned a moment ago, my frieuds,
thnl Atlanta was to he memorable in the history of
this country for having inaugurated this great en
terprise for exhibiting the nits and sciences, the
commercial wealth, tne mineral wealth, tile ugri-
on a farm untiL he was 17 years of age, when he
commenced his apprenticeship as a machinist. By
closc application, right living and industry, he
gradually advanced until he became the principal
owner and manager of the extensive boiler and ma
chine works located at Grape Vine Point, near New
Haven. He has been director in the Merchants??? na
tional bank and several large institutions in that city
for many years. In the spring of 1875 he was
elected member of the legislature, and in 1S78 was
elected mayor of the democratic city of New Haven
by a majority of over 2.300, his election showing
very clearly his splendid personal popularity. He
was electeed governor in 1880. While his life has
been one of brilliant business success, it has also
been characterized by conscientious religious con
victions, benevolent aims and purposes, and untar
nished honor. His home surroundings are exceed
ingly attractive.
The Crowds
Yesterday began to pour out to the grounds as
soon as street cars anil trains began their trips.
Thousands had gone before ten o???clock, and be
tween that hour and noon it was almost impossible
to get a seat anywhere to get to the grounds. At one
time yesterday afternoon it was estimated that
15,000 were on the grounds, and it is though
that over 20,000 people entered the gates
during the day. And in spite of nil this enormous
crowd tnere was not a single instance of disorder or
even the slightest occasion of unpleasantness to mar
the perfect pleasure of a great day in Atlanta???s his
tory. It was truly a great day in every respect. The
exposition is now really open, and henceforth its
history will he one bright page of success.

PERRY DAVIS??? PAIN??? KILLER.
Bkeumcfesm UeuxoXoXa
Sprains, Fain in tlie Back and Side.
There Is nothing more painful than these diseases: hnt the pain can be removed and the
disease cured by use of PERRY DAVIS??? PAIN KILLER.
This remedy is not a cheap Benzine or Petroleum product that must he kept away from
fire or heat to avoid danger ot explosion, nor is it an untried experiment that may do
lucre harm Than good.
PAIN KILLER has been in constant nse for forty years, and the universal testimony
from all parts of the world is. IT NEVER PAILS. It not onlv effects a permanent cure,
hut it relieves pain almost instantaneously. Being a purely vegetable remedy, it is safe in
the hands of the most inexperienced.
The record of cures by the use or PAIN KILLER would fill volumes. The following
extracts from letters received show what those who have tried it think:
Edgar Cady, Owatoana, Minn., says:
About a year since my wife became subject
to severe Buffering from rheumatism. Our
resort was to the Pant Killed, which speedily
relieved her.
Charles Powell writes from the Bailors'
Home, London:
I had been afflicted three years with neuralgia
amiviolent spasms of the stomach. Tho doctors
Hospital gave up my caso in
despair. I tried your Pain Killer, and it gave
me immediate relief. I have regained ray
strength, and am now able to follow my usual
occupation.
G.H. Walworth. Saco, Me., writes:
I experienced immediate relief from i cia ia
tho Fide by the ute tf your Pain Killed.
??. York says:
1 have used your Pain Killed fer rheumatism,
and have received great benefit.
Barton Seaman says:
Have used Pain Killer for thirty rears.
' uedy for
and have found it a vtirr/ailinj icme
rheumatism and lameness.
Mr. Burditt writes:
11 ntvtrfaif* to give relief in cases of rheumatism.
Phil. Gilbert, Somerset, Pa., writes:
From actual use, I know your Pain Killeb
is the best medicine I can get.
AU druggists keep Pain Killer. Its price is so low that it is within the reach of all,
and it will save many times its cost in doctors??? bills. 25c., 50c., and $1.00 a bottle.

cultural resource*, and the energy-and prosperity
of our people. This occasion nuu this presence, my
friends, knows not the muskets, the bayonets, the
swords nor the cannon, hut instead i see the
implements of husbandry and the insignia
of |*-??ce and prosperity. My friends, the prosperity
of the north has luught us lessons that we, of the
south, may do well to heed, and will do well to
practice. It may be out of taste, and out of place
to say anything that looks like a lecture, and yet at
the risk of your censure I will say this???there is. as
Governor Hoyt said, a glorious future, a grand anil
glorious destiny for the jieople of the south. [Ap
plause.] There is a great future for all the states
of the south. We have here beneath our
soil, untold millions of wealth. Our soil
is susceptible of the highest cultivation, and pro
ducts of our soil find a market in the marts of the
world. We have the climate, the soil, the wealth,
and everything of it lies idle here, and it hut waits
the touch of???what? It but waits the labor of the
young men of the south. Now we hope for immi
gration. We invite it and capital. God knows the
Iieople of North Carolina mid the people of Georgia
welcome the capital that crowds the northern states.
But while we do that the great problem must be
worked out by our own people. Young
men, the future of your country dejiends
upon you. There is one thing that i love, and one
thing that I turn my back upon. Wherever 1 see a
young man in the south tlmt is not afraid or
ashamed to work, I want to take him by the hand.
(Applause.] And whenever I see one Hint is a
loafer, and idle, I have no kind word for him hut
good bye to him, I accept the kind hospitality and
the good words of my brother governor. It was
not necessary, except as a matter of fonn,
that he should have tendered the hos
pitality. We knew It as we shook hands,
as we saw the kindly welcome, and we
were well assured of that before we came. I thank
you, ladies and gentlemen, and accept your kind
hospitality, and shall carry away with me the most
pleasant recollections and highest hopes that this
exhibition may workout grand and glorious results
for the south prinei]>ully and for tlic common coun
try together.
The hall rang with applause when Governor
Jnrvis ceased speaking. His speeeh was an excel
lent one and made a deep impression
Governor Blackburn, of Kentucky, was the next
speaker. He was introduced and sold:
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen???I regret
accept this commission. Onr jov would have been
superlative if we could have had with us the gov
ernors of all the thirty-eight states of this union.
1 Applause.] We have house-room and heart-room
???or them all. While we regret tlieir absence, we
have counted it a good fortune that it is our privi
lege to greet you who are here mid
???claim you as our guests. We open wide
onr gates, we extend to you a warm grasp and wel
come, and we know that you will find as you grasp
the hands or these people a warm pulse- responding
to everv pulsation of your own. In more senses
than one it is not good tor man to he alone. Isola
tion is not 11 good thing. The looking into each
other's faces; the forming of acquaintances between
the people of the different states is the surest and
l,e s t means of binding together the people 01 those
states in one great, glorious, grand sisterhood. Per
mit me. teen, in behalf of the people
???of the state of Georgia, to assure
von that whatever you may see mat
shall interest you. or that shall have the evidence
of skill, w bother these exhibitions shall come short
or exceed your expectation*, there is one thing that
you may hie assured o'???that you OAlinot count ton
much upon the wanntnandcordiality of the greeting
and welcome which we extend to you. [Applause.]
There is one way by which we may brighten the
golden chain that binds these states together, and
that is by the rivalry of grant will. We need more
association together. We are glad to he together.
You have already assurances of our good win,
our friendship, mid, indeed, of a feeling of brotherly
regnrds I have no donbt that you have already seen
in the crowds that intercepted your way through
those buildings, the very surest ??? evidence that
-Georgia is proud to-day to claim us her guests these
governors of the sister state*, and I trust when this
is over and these visiw have closed that you will
tear with you to vour homes and to the people of
vour states the intelligence that you have found us
not only citizens of a warm and southern clime, but
???citizens w hose hearts are genial and warm, and who
offer you 11 most cordial welcome. [Applause.]
The address of Governor Colquitt was os it ap
pears above???brief, pointed and was delivered
in an earnest manner, whieh could not
fail to impress every one who heard
it with the conviction that Hie words oi welcome so
fitly chosen, were sincere and heartfelt. At the
close of Governor Colquitt???s address of welcome.
Governor Bigelow, of Connecticut, was introduced
by Director-General Kimball, and responded as fol
lows to the address of welcome:
Ladie*and Gentlemen: Born and reared in that
little state on Long bland sound, nevertheless it has
been rav privilege to visit the south, but to-day as I
look ui*ui this wonderful exhibition I feel that a
new- sun of greater prosperity has risen
over this section of 'the common country.
Now a- the people of Atlanta, and this section, have
determined to push her advantages, there is no
question but that a glorious future is before you.
Used, as I am to the busy hjirn of industry, I can
see that yon fully rival us. But in this rivalry we
should never be jealous of each other. Let us build
up our section* as we can, but let us do it with a
feeling oi brotherly love, uumixed with any but a
deeply to acknowledge that my state is not as prom
inently represented here as she should he. We do
not claim to have within our borders minerals us
valuable as any exhibited by some of our- sister
states, lint I will say to the president and to the
gentlemen of this association that if they will just
enlarge their fair next year and invite fine horses,
fine cattle and pretty women (laughter) I shall
bring down a representation that will vie with the
beautiful women of Georgia or any other state.
[Applause.]
Mr. Chairman.I nm sincere when I say I am happ
to be here on this occasion. 1 am delighted, after
walking through these grounds, and seeing the'ex
hibition. 1 congratulate you, and???venture the re
mark, that there is no man in Georgia that has felt
more interest in the success of the exposition than
myself. 1 have watched it, anil we have been ready
and I am ready to do anything in my power to ad
vance its interests. I confess that I,
southern man, and representing a southern
state, feel warmly toward Georgia. It is to
her that we owe the railroads that pass through the
states. There was a time when she liud more rail
roads than all the other southern states, and now
she has inaugurated this exposition which will do
more service to the people 01 this country than any-
thing that could have been done, and it is a com
pliment to the men who first conceived it and to
nil connected with it, and it will be a memorial that
should immortalize them.
The speaker went on to speak of the great benefits
that would accrue to the south by reiison of the ex
position. He said that the people should come to
gether more: that they were always right, and it
was only the political tricksters who brought about
trouble, and that the people guiding themselves
would always come out right. He said that if the
people of the different sections of the country could
come together they would soon be established in
fact ns in name???a nation of brothers.
The speech was loudly applauded. In addition
to speeches on the programme, addresses
were made by ex-Governor William Bross, of Illi
nois; Hon. E. D. Holton, of Milwaukee; Mr. P. E.
Sunk-baker, of South Bend, Ind.; Mr. George 3
Bowen, of Chicago; Mr. N D. Sperry: Mr. Sullivan,
of the Chicago Evening Journal; Mayor English, of
Atlanta, and Mr. Kimball These addresses, whieh
short and pitly, served to aid in
the audience In enthusiastic
Mr. Kimball???i address closed the
Captain Uognrdu*.
Captain Bogardus and his two sons added a great
attraction to the entertainments on the grounds
yesterday by their wonderful exhibition of skill
with the rille and shot-gun.
The boys are simply phenomenal in their skill.
One is seventeen and the other only six years
old. Tlie elder executes with the rille
feats which the most famous rifle
marksmen plume themselves upon. He strikes
nicklcs, dimes and pencils thrown in the air; breaks
balls thrown from hand or trap with almost unfail
ing accuracy. Tho little fellow is even more re
markable than his brother. He handles the* rifle
like an old expert, and aims witli a mechanical pre
cision at whatever is presented. He can break a
glass hall in his father???s hand twenty feet off every
time without danger.
The captain with his shot gun displayed the skill
whieh has made him famous, and it seemed impos
sible for him to miss his aim. His rapidity and
accuracy combined made the exhibition remark
ably interesting. This afternoon he and his sons
will give another exhibition with some chunges in
the programme. The shooting will begin at three
o'clock at the west end of the main building and
will he free to all who enter the exposition grounds.
Exposition Note*.
???Two hundred visiting girls are working with
Hie various exhibits.
???Colonel diaries D. Oweus, of the S. F. and IV.
railroad, is raising a flag pole that is so long that he
had to dig a well so it would lit between the ground
and tlie sky. Charlie says he is going to let it out
gradually so the people can stand it.
???The Eagle and Plienix, of Columbus, Ga., have
a magnificent display at the exposition. One motto
over their display attracts attention. It refers to
the fact tlmt the factory was built exclusively witli
southern capital.
???One of the most beautiful exhibits in the main
building is that of Mr. \V. E. Darracott of holiday
cards. The exhibit is unfortunately placed on the
south side aisle of the east wing attji docs not meet
wiHi the attention it otherwise would. Mr. Darra
cott is also state agent for the Crocker water filter,
whieh is in practical running orderat his stand just
behind the large and beautiful display of E. Jcnckes
& Co.
that it would add to their receipts is a secondary
consideration with us. Before all things.it is im-
portant that the exposition should serve the first
purpose for whieh it was organized???that is to bring
the farmer face to face with all that is new and
better in agriculture and to show him, ashy months
of travel and investigation lie could not he shown,
what advance science and invention have made in
his profession within the past fifty years.
As a very humble citizen of the state, permit me
to say that from the very first Lssue of your paper up
to now, you have never written anything so vitally
important to the people of Georgia as the above
quoted paragraph. I ask von to publish it again,
and I hope every editor in the state will give it a
place in his columns, and to put every line i f it in
italics. Georgian.

The Elnncr*.
After the reception at fee judges??? hall there were
two complimentary dimers tendered to the guests
of the occasion.
The gentlemen of the fress were kindly cared for
by Major Pardee and token to Chaffee???s pavilion,
on the cast side of the grtunds. There Mr. Chaffee
did all that culinary art pas learned to accomplish
for the comfort of man ail warmed many a poor
editorial breast.
The occasion was as j trial as a class meeting and
every man there enjoyd it to the fullest extent.
While this pleasant part) was in progress quite a
number of gentlemen aramg the guests, including
the governors, were dinint at the Exposition hotel
where Phil Brown, thal prince of hotel men,
had prepared a ; truly royal recep
tion for them. They had all
that they could eat or driik. and there was a com
pleteness of the surroutdings which made every
one present feel that it was good to be there.
Speeches full of genuine *ntiment and real Imrnor
were inspired by the oc-asion and were spoken
freely. There was no semment uttered too extrav
agant for the glorious jood feeling of the tim ?.
The men of north, sotih, east and west clasped
hands sincerely over the ablc-s loaded with luxury
and the wine sparkling with good will until it
seemed that once more tie elans had met and sworn
to be one. Sir. Brown nhde a good hit by so getting
the people together, andjne deserves the thanks of
the public f<# this genial lccasioa. It will not soon
be forgotten.
Govern* Bigelow.
Governor Bigelow, whtis now our distinguished
guest, is a most remarkafce man. He began life in
the most humble circumaances. His life was spent
The Senator* Consider.
Yesterday Director-General Kimball received a
telegram from Senator Brown stating that the sen
ate would probably accept the invitation to visit
the exposition, and that a visit from the distin
guished body might occur next week. Tlie senate
has not determined the matter yet, but in view of
the extent of the cotton exposition and its unique
character, it is not at all unlikely Uiat we will be
honored with a visit from these gentlemen. Such
an occasion would eclipse the success of governors???
day and stamp the exposition, as it deserves to he,
an enterprise worthy of the entire American peo
ple.
On the Grotiml*.
Yesterday there were such preparations made as
insure the complete success of the exposition here
after. The crowd was nothing like as large ns it
was the day before, but it was representative in its
character of the entire country. Yesterday marked
a good day on the grounds and was very pleasantly
spent from first to last. The Connecticut party was
one of the most interesting on the grounds and the
following is a list of the party oa the staff of Gov
ernor Bigelow:
George M. Harmon, of New Haven, adjutant gen
eral, with rank of brigadier general.
Alexander Harbison, of Hartford, quartermaster
general, with rank of brigadier general.
James G. Gregory, of Norwalk, surgeon general,
with rank of brigadier general.
George H. Ford, of New Haven, commissary gen
eral, with rank of brigadier general.
Frederick E. Camp, of Middletown, paymaster
general, with rank of brigadier general.
William E. Barrows, of Hartford, aide-de-camp,
with rank of colonel.
William B. Rudd, of Lakeville, aide-de-camp,
with rank of colonel.
A. H. Killnm. of New Haven, aide-de-camp, with
rank of colonel.
Charles A. Russell, of Killingly, aide-de-camp,
with rank of colonel.
Simeon J. Fox, of New Haven, assistant adjutant
general, with rank of lieutenant colonel. Ke-ap-
pointed.
Hery C. Morgan, of Colchester, assistant quarter
master general, with rank of major.
The Massachusetts delegation was one of the most
pleasant on the grounds. In it were Messrs. Ab
bott, Kennedy raid Gibson, three gcnUcmen from
Taunton and Boston, worthy of represenHng any
state. They were all among the most genial visitors
to the exposition, and they will leave for home this
afternoon. We trust that their memorials of the
south will be os pleasing as are ours of them, for
they and all the gentlemen of the
north have won a warm place in the
hearts of our people. Wc hope to have them back
with us again, and they are going away with feel
ings of the most genial friendship for our people.
The Very Salvation of Georgto-
Editoes Constitution: In your paper of the 2Sth
instant, suggesting a series of cheap excursions to
the cotton exposition at Atlanta, you use the fol
lowing language:
???In the first place it would pay the roads hand
somelv to haul large crowds at this price. In the
second place it would give the people of Georgia
living along the lines of road an opportunity to
study the vast amount of improved machinery,
methods, seeds, fertilizers, etc., that are on exhibit
in Atlanta. This would result in a vastly improved
system oi farming, in better crops, in richer farmers
and in larger freights for the road. Indeed, the
managers of the Central could, to-morrow, easily
afford to bring every farmer who would agree to
spend three days in Atlanta studying the exposi
tion. to this city as the old saying is ???free gratis for
nothing." Such a magnificent opportunity to lift
Hie agriculture of the state from its present lame
and inefficient methods has never been offered be
fore on earth. It is 11 school in which even the
most unobservant may learn useful truths and the
most stubborn find inducement to change their
ways.
It will be noticed that we omit altogether the
effect that such a movemenfwould have on the men
who have projected this exposition. Really the fact

THE COTTON MARKET
CONSTITUTION OFFICE,
Atlant '. October 29,1881.
THE WEEK???S REVIEW???FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18.
New York???Again we note a comparatively quiet
week In the cotton market, and nothing oi impor
tance has occurred, \yhlle there have been some
light fluctuations daring the weciOhe state of the
market at the close to-day developed no material
change, and quotations for the future months, as
compared with a week ago, vary hut a few points.
Tho tendency of the market at present is downward
anfi a considerable loss of strength was developed
toward the close. The spot market is quiet and
steady; middling ll%c. Net receipts, while heavier
than last week, show a decrease a? compared .with
last year.
Net receipts for the week ending to-day 232,114
hales, against 18i;771 bales last week and against
248,932bales for the corresponding week last year;
exports for the week86,628 bales; same time last year
131413bales; stock 646,270 bales; same time last year
643,570 bales.
The state of the local cotton market is materially
unchanged, though business as compared with last
week hns somewhat improved. The downward
tendency to-day checked the demand to some ex
tent, hut a fair amount of sales was reported at the
clo*e with some grades a shade off. Speculators
hare not been liberal in their deals, as the market
was not active enough to work up an excitement.
Receipts for the week show a moderate decrease as
compared with last week, and the corresponding
week last year.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29.
New York???The cotton market opened quiet and
steady for the futmre mon ths. During the morning

a dull tone appeared which checked the advance
and reversed the inclination of the market.
Throughout the remainder of the day no improved
was manifested, and at the close the market was
quoted easy with quotations a fraction under open
ing figures. The spot market is unchanged; mid
dling steady at 11%C-
