New York, April 29.-(Special.) .)-The- cot ton market was active again today and held it's own well in the face of the very heavy realizing. The early Liverpool ga bles reported that market two sxty-fourths higher, with large business in spots. The report was regarded as rather non-commit- tai considering the strength of our market yesterday, and the opening here was but slightly higher, August selling on the. first call at 7i9 Immediately after the opening a rush of buying orders carried prices up- ward, August touching 7.53, but the general opinion was that the prices were high enough for the moment, and heavy llquida- tion ensued, August declining to 7.45 The fluctuations during the day were frequent between this figure and 7.51. May contracts in which the interest has almost entirely been liuuidated, were very strong all day, and the late months as usual were, sold freely and were comparatively weak, The close was quiet and steady, with 7B bid for August. A too rapid advance may check the demand for spot and for the moment we advise caution in buying except on breaks
