Cotton Market, Meera. "Riobard Haworth & Co., Ld., in their market report]. dated Hapoliester, March 5,87

American Cotton has had o modertate decline since our last report, middling spot closing last night at 6,95d. per lb.

The market during the week has been quiet, and prices have gradually eased-chiefly in sympathy with the Egyptian "market-hich has been rather heavily sold by Continental in terests and also to a certain degree by American selling against straddles, but new crop positions have been much steadf er on account of a growing de mand for them by Continental hooses.
