Hubbard Price & Co.. in their cotton circular,
say: 1.-The market to-day has been chiefly con-
spicuous for a sudden advance and sudden
reaction of March contracts, affecting to a
greater less extent other positions, and de-
monstrating forcbly the existence of a con
certed movement to advance the price of near
positions. The operation is supposed to have
originated with Liverpool parties, and while
its object is not yet clearly defined, operators
have been forced to admit the power of the
parties in control, and evidently disposed to
be very cautious in their operations"
