TO days features: Prices had a strong
foundation In good demand for actual
exports. Liverpool was higher on the
spot: so was New York. and so were q
good many southern markets Futures IN
Liverpool made a jump thst astonisbed
everybody. The secret OF that Is that
manufacturers trade II increasing. part
ly owing 10 the firmness OF the silver
rupee. The ports and interior town re-
ceipts were so small TO make a very
good bull card. Fail River brokers are
I'm the market for spot cotton. AMI II Is
believed that the New England mills as
a rule are In the same boat as the Lam
cashlTe mills--namely. they are c&fryiny
very small stocks Of raw cotton.
Liverpool. the Continent and the
South, as well as New York. bought here
to-day The transactions look more like
old times. ana the market showed not
a little, to-. OF its old-timed elasticity
and strength But the best feature OF
all was the excellent demand for the
actual cotton. and the advance was pre-.
dicated more upon that one solid fact
than upon anything else.
