New York, Jan. 2.-The Suns cotton article
| says: Prices advanced easily owing to
| higher quotations from Liverpool, where
trade is also brisk, and smaller receipts at
the ports and interior towns, together with a
| better demand from some Of the shorts here
| and abroad. The estimates of the receipts at
the ports this week are be-
the crop movement, and If there
| is any permanent and noteworthy decrease
| in the receipts, the general opinion is that
| prices win advance. Prices advanced IA TO IL
points and closed steady, with sales Of $500
| bales. Liverpool advanced 2% to points,
| closing firm, with spot sales of 1900 bales.
yarns and cloths. New Orleans advanced II

| New York, Jan. 2.--Riordan & Co. say Of
| cotton: The market to-day showed in very
striking way how sensitive the trading has
| become to any symptoms Of diminishing re-
| ceiptS. The movement on Saturday and
| again on Monday was fully up TO the esti-
| mates To-day, however the port receipts
we're slightly below those of this day last
| year, and sudden change in the temper of
| the market was the speedy result both here
| and at Liverpool. The opening was only a
point or two higher than Fridays closing
prices, the first sales Of March
| being at 775c. but as the fig
ureS of port after port were posted
| prices rapidly hardened and the market soon
| realizing sales there was a reaction Of 0
| points, March selling down to 1926, but in the
| last half hour the demand again became
| brisk, causing renewed improvement. The
| close was steady, with 1880 bid for March
Has the turn in the market come at laSt1 The
| answer to the question will depend absolutely
| on the movement. If receipts tomorrow are
| large, we may lose all and more than was
| gained to-day. II they are again light, there
