New York. March 7-Riordan & Co say
of cotton to-day: Another lively day in
cotton has given fresh confidence to the
bulls. May opened at 5.63c, advanced rap
idly to 56Sc, became weak and declined to
562c and then took a fresh start and ac-
Vanced to 5.70c. The close was firm, with
May at about the best prices Of the day.
The buying to-day can hardly be said to
have been exclusively or even mainly to
cover shorts. The gradually increasing
strength of Liverpool the hardening of
spots and the evident ttmdity Of the bears
has created a general and unreasonIng an
ticipation of higher prices, which may
not be very safe guide, but which, neV-
erthcless, attracts many purchasers OF the
class who want TO go with the current.
Sentiment at the moment seems TO sat
isfy the market and nobody can say what
sentiment can do next. 1T may be SAID
that there has been no material change,
as vet, in the unfavorable conditions, but
it is certainly not so fashionable to sell
cotton now as it was a month ago.
