MARKETS-LOCAL AND GENERAL
MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.


New York. Oct. 2S.-(Speeial.)-The cotton
market, which has been dull and spiritless
for week or more, showed new life today.
The advance was started by the unexpected
rise in Liverpool, but when this was supple
mented about midday by very decided de-
crease in the interior receipts the buying
became very bold and confident, and
further advance took place, final prices be-
ing about the best of the day.
January opened at 7.91, rose to SOB and
closed at S.o2QS.03 with the tone very steady.
There was much liquidation of long cotton
during the advance by holders, who pre-
ferred to have no interest in cotton until
the election is over, but it was all ready
absorbed.
Judging from the temper of today's mar
ket if receipts should continue to fall Off
as they did today, election or no election,
cotton cannot be held down.
