The cotton market was decidedly more
active, and prices advanced 4ul0 points
at the start, with rapid trading through
out the session. The principal element or
strength was the more peaceful outlook
OF political affairs In Europe, the Liver
pool market showing leading strength.
Private advices assert that the English
advance was due to the assumption OF
an early peace for all Europe. The New
York market was flooded with buying
orders from abroad. and investment
orders from outside sources in this coun-
try were on larger scale to-day than
for some time past.
The advance to-day was further stim,l-
lated by the runor that "a prominent
Liverpool authority is about 10 promul-
cate a bulish circular regarding stocks
and acreage. Liverpool orders were very
heavy IA the morning. In the afternoon
the advance was arrested by local real
izing. and New Orleans selling, which
especially reported the new-crop pros
poets. At the best point to-day. prices
showed net advance OF 64li points. with
