Liverpool kilograms yesterday reported the
market hardening. New York spots were
firm and quotations revised, placing grades
below middling Lice higher; futures at the
close were steady at an advance of one to
two points. Our market was active and
strong, with light offerings, and although

The New York Bulletin, of Wednesday,
reported: Various causes are enumerated
as forming the basis of improvement, but the
most prominent are the reports of cheering
private advices from Liverpool and cables
from Manchester in better form than for some
time past, and these are claimed to be the re-
suit of a feeling Of greater apprehension over
cur diminishing supplies here. The stocks gen.
orally are under pretty close control, and the
balls are said to be perfecting this situation
by steadily working off their cotton to ship
pers, even at a considerable fractional shad-
ing from the ruling market rates. The cool
er weather and reports of storms over several
sections of the cotton belt, while not as yet
showing any serious damage actually done.

a stiffenIng influence" The New
