II cotton to-day: THE cotton market was
hEely to-day. Liverpool was only a trife
Atsher but our market after opening al
%oout Yesterdays closing prices became
neIy nrm and advanced half a dozen
points. The rise was generally believed to
ave been manipulated with a view of
ever this may be there certainly was a
eat deal of short covering during the
nay, put in the last thirty minutes, the
-tdIket gave way and nearly all the i'm
t.3Eement was lost May opened a 7.64c,
v9.,nanced to 7.71c, and closed al 1860 bid,
YIN the tone easy. We can see nothing to
lange our opinion that in spite of occa-
oro aai rallies the, general tendency Of
F''-es is likely to be downward"
