Saturday Evening. Oct. 2o. 1877.
We are indebted to Mr. H. G. Hester. Secretary
of the Ootton Exchange, for the following:
At a meeting of the Board of Directors held
this day the following preamble and resolutions
VWe unanimously adopted. viz:
inasmuch as the late action of this board,
eonoerning an allowance to buyers of three
pomnds per hale, where side piece'n form part
f the covering of cotton, w's partly influencnd
the assertion that there existed alawof Con
gress permitting their nonuso, as was set
*frth in positive terms at the late session of the
ational Cotton Exchange of America, and in
asmuch as the law requirlng the thorough cov
erlag of all cotton shipped on passenger steam
era has not been changed, but the reauirement
Sof the useof side pleles on all such cotton. re
tals in full force; therefore he it
solved, That until Congress shall have
Withdrawn the present legal rotnp rement of
qlde pieces this hoard does not feel (alled upon.
in opposition to the wishes of the great body
of those who ship cotton by river, to enforce
upon mnemb1rs of this Exchange the observ
ance of its rule of 0Hptember nth. relating to
ldde pieces: and that the said rule relating to
side pieces he and the same is here.y revoked.
and is no longer binding upon members of this
.5xehange.
Resolved. That this board deny that their
former et ion in relation to sid piecses was in
any mlnner unjust to sellers or producers of
otton., or solely in the interest of liuyers;
that in their opinion it was just. and equitable
to all uPart ies.
qUTTON--The sales to-day embraced 1900
lilts at irregula r hut generally stronger prices,

The market opened with a scent sDIply and
demo d, and with coaeiderahle 'ompe
tion among buyers, which enabled factors to
realise full irihes-stronger but hardly quota
bly higher than yestrday. which restricted
operations. and the sales during the morning
Shardly exceeded i1O) bale-. after which the
movement became more animated and addi
tional transactions were reported to the exte.nt
of 2900 bales, making a total on the day, as noted
above, of :1900.
Prioes exhibited some irregularity, but. while
a part 4f the business exhibited no quotable
g.lition. the rest was at manifestly stiffer
es. reuiring an advance of 'e in our outside
res for Good Ordinary to Good Middling,.
no other change. A high style of Middling
ded 1Oc, but average lists could be
