CoTroN-The movement in the leading staple
to-day has disclosed Q fair degree of animation.
The resumption Of business ct Liverpool at steady
and unchanged figures caused factors here to as
sumo greater hrmness, while advices from the
New York market were rather In favor of hold
ers. Buyers seeing no disposition on the part Of
sellers to give way came forward more freely and
the inquiry resulted in sales Of 400 bales, the
market closing firm at an advance Of 10. on yes
tefday's ruling rates. The P. N. Liverpool dis
patch representing firm market with an upward
tendency came too late to have much effect here,
as the principal portion of the sales were made be-
fore 1t was received. We DOW quote good ordi-
nary 2ls@22c., low middiinR 2240223c., middng
22l@23c., and strict do. 2s4@-c., with the re.
mark that rates inclined to outside figures at the
close of business.
