Few were looking for tho delivery of any such large quantity of cotton, but the fact that It was promptly taken care of seemed to Indicate plainly enough a healthy demand for the actual staple, which, by the way.

Under the circumstances the fluetimtlons simmered down to tlielr old narrow limit. But does the stopping of the notices so promptly mean I bat the bulk of the stock here has ••banged hands?
