All things considered cotton has hold-
up remarkably well under the onslaught
to which It has been subjected Tho
actual merits of tho staple are now be-
ginning to assert themselves and fenrs of
any further serious breaks havo been
dismissed from the minds of speculators
Naturally the Improvement In Iho ilium

steadier feeling though the firm stand
taken by Southern holders jeslerday and
