| New Orleans, Jan. S.-Holiday.
| New York, Jan. S.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: 1.-THE bears, until to-
day. have been sneering at the lighter re-
| ceipts, but when they saw the Senate fig-
| ures of the ports and interior movements
| to-day they ceased to sheer. Liverpool
| this morning gave us an advance
and our market in the forenoon was only
| few points higher. But about noon advices
| from Texas indicated a smaller yield in
| that state than had been expected and
| foretold approaching exhaustion at all IN
| terror points This was followed by heavy
buying for New Orleans account and prices
| shot upward March, which opened at
| 7OSc advanced to 7.19c, closing firm at
| 71Sc bid. Our friends must be prepared
for the temporary setbacks at any time,
but we are now satisfied that the general
tendency of the market will be upward "
New York Jan. S.-The Sun says of cot
ton: 1.-THE speculation to-day was more
active and prices advanced quite sharp
Iy, The Liverpool news was better than
had been expected, and caused higher
opening here. Shorts covered, there was
good demand here for New
also new buying by local oper-
ators while the sentiment was more bull
ish than for some time past. Prices ad-
vanced steadily, and closed at the best
nrices of the day. The indications pointed
to lighter receipts at the interior than
had been expected, and the statement by
Secretary Hester of New Orleans that me
Texas movement from Sept. to January
was $4,000 bales, against 1,969,OOO in the
same time last season, induced some puy'
ing. Manchester advices were favorable,
and the monthly report of exports OF
warns and cloths from the United King
dom made bullish exhibit"
