cotton developed larger degree of invest !
ment than has been shown for some time
past The shorts We're also in a buying |
mood, and the market developed an un-
usual degree of activity for a holiday |
week. The opening was quiet and firm,
at an advance of 1@2 points, speculation |
broadened and the advance was increas-
ed to Sos points. The phase of the gen |
eral market was in the main bullsh in
GLIDING continued firmness at Liverpool |
and a surprising increase in the already !
usual spot demand from the English mar |
llet, spot sales at Liverpool reaching 1i,O00 |
bales at an advance of 1-32d. In the after |
noon there was considerable liquidation. |
but the market absorbed the offerings |
without yielding to any considerable ex-
tent and was finally steady in tone, at a |
net advance of 5@7 points.
