The speculative energy in cotton seems
to have subsidized TO some extent. at least
for the present There was some invest
ment this morning on English and CONT
mental advices, which were quite as Ia
yorable as expected. There was also some
covering early in the day, and the after
noon features of the market were fairly
promising. At the best prices the market
showed an advance OF 64l0 points on yes
terday's closing figures; The early i'm
provement was stimulated by quite a
number OF private wires. indicating late
planting and partial results for the new
crop. At the same time spot cotton aa-
vices from southern markets were favor
able, and Fall River accounts fairly so.
The new crop months developed strength
during the morning., During the after
noon the market was easier under liqui-
dation, but there was no particular pres
sure 10 sell at any time. The market
closed quiet and steady at a net advance
of points to net decline of 4 points.
