G. l.. Green 4 Co.'s report on cotton flu
lures says: "Surprlsed by the strength de-
veoped at Liverpool, and further stimulated
by the upward turn on contracts It New Or
leans, the bears have been very nervous all
day, Leading to liberal business and a sharp
advance of lS(9l9 points. Covering was gen
eral. but especially noticeable on ear months,
and many of the orders indicated that the
South was reinvesting against the recent un-
loading. Two or three prominent local ope-
rators have been constant and liberal sellers
from the opening to the close. but the market
appeared TO absorb al they had to offer, and
left of steady.n
