New York, May s.-Cotton market de-
'eloped decided strength to-day, at the
pest points, showing an advance of 70
points, and closing steady at practically
ne highest level of the session. The
Improvement was based chiefly on the de.
cided strength of the statistical position,
|tuppiemented by continued vigorous de-
lldhu from exporters and American spin
Hcls' New Orleans was a steady buyer,
Stiu foreign orders were also generally for
"uylhg cotton. The conservative shorts
tlered, and the selling was nearly in
on cases for securing profits.
