Hubbard Price & Co. S cotton circular SAYS:
| while to-day's operations in certificates has
| not materially affected prices to-day has been
| decidedly more active. and interest in cotton
| seems to be becoming more general and specu-
| Iatl0n rather broader. The best judges seem
| to agree that the market is reopening to point
| at which some interesting Developments are
! likely TO become apparent; but opinions differ
| very decidedly as to whether such change will
| be in the direction of better or lower prices.
| There are signs to-day that buying has been of
| a substantial character, and tnat cotton, espe-
cially more distant positions, is passing into the
| hands OF people VINO content TO hold it for
considerable Improve nent. The bear element
| here. while evidently diSinclined to sell much
| cotton, las been constant in their attack upon
| the market and, flushed with their success thus
| far, tenaciously fight any attempt at an al-
| vance Receipts for the day show an increase
| of about % per cent compared with last year
| which, however, is without erect, as the market
| is now adjusted to and expects a very full move
| ment and any decrease in it is likely to be
| promptly responded to by an advance in
prices"
