The crop has been nearly all marketed and disposed of. The unsold portion consists of about 2-50 bales classing Fine to Fully Fine, which are held at ."JOc. and upwards, and two small crop lots held at full prices. We quote, viz.: Extra Fine 30c. = 19irf. to 20ri. & 5 per cent. Fully Fine 29c. = 195. „ „ „ „ Fine 28c. = 18^ „ „ „ „ Fine off in class 27c=llSc?. ,, ,, ,, ,, FLoEiDAS ANB GEORGIAS. The market was quiet and unchanged this week. The sales were largely composed of cotton received by exporters from the interior and reported in the sales. Factors in Savannah refused to lower their prices, and are continuing to hold at 30c for round lots grading from Choice to Fancy. As there have been no sales as yet on^these terms, we renew our last ((uotations, but could buy with difficulty at them. We quote, viz.: Fancy 30c. = 31c., landed. Extra Choice 29c. = 30c., „ Choice 28c. = 29c., „ Extra Fine 27c. = 28c., „ The Exports from Savannah for tlie week were, to Northern Mills 409 bales, Southern Mills 103 bales, and to Liverpool 276 bales, and from Jacksonville to Northern Mills, 797 bales. Lagos crop is excellent, and the prosjoects are auspicious. In Northern Nigeria the purchases of the new crop have exceeded those of any previous year, and the prospects are very promising. The purchases of cotton in Lagos for the year 191-j amounted to 6,161 bales, as compared with 13,-547 bales for 1914, 13,9
