Cotton Market.
The course of prices the past week
has again been disappointing. For
weeks the trade has been informed by
those on the inside that when the
Anti-option bill was out of the way
prices would advance sharply. The
Anti-option bill was virtually killed
a week ago—was killed outright on
Wednesday, and now the wires are
teeming with the news of the contin
uance and enlargement of the strike
in England.’ It looks like a man said
“We should not be astonished if
future development show that the
master spinners see the end of the
strike in the near future, and with a
view to buying their immediate needs
at two prices, and their harming the
market. We still have faith in cotton
and while prices may go much lower
eventually, cotton at prices of today
will be valuable.”
Yesterday cotton was bringing
cents.
