Fanners were reported selling as fast aa ginned, and would probably con tinue to do so until prlcea got below S cents In tha Interior. In spit eof the free movement however, spots had hardened a-l( te because of a abort Interest ex isting for early shipments. The trade here '. somewhat mixed . owing te the local October situation, but as underlying conditions have not materially changed, the temper Is to sell on the hard spots, .Dry Goods Market.' . v Kew York.
