The Liverpool news today was better than
had been expected in view of the decline
here yesterday. Liverpool opened steady

small failure there but rallied and closed
steady at an advance. Prices here OPP
ened firmer on the early Liverpool news
and moderate estimate of the receipts
at the ports, lost part Of the rise in SYM

still later rallied and closed firm at a sub
stantial net Improvement for the day.
Shorts covered New Orleans bought freely
here and outsiders, attracted by the cheap
mess of prices were moderate buyers. The
dizziness of the speculation is the worst feat
ure of the market at the present time. While
the receipts continue ON such a liberal scale
there is not much disposition TO support
prices, but many contend that the cheapness
o< prices discounts everything of a bearish
nature in the situation. Advices from the
due to the usual rush of Christmas cotton
and that after the holidays there will be
falling off in the movement. With a
decrease in the movement much higher
prices are looked for.
