New York, Dec 13.-Early cables from
Liverpool, at hand when business at the
Cotton Exchange was commenced, was
better than expected but so pronounced is
bearish sentiment at this point that the
advance on the opening call was checked
at 1d2 points. Still later cables were even
more favorable and sellers withdrew
while the covering demand became more
active. widening the advance to a matter
of 405 points as compared with Saturdays
| final figures A generally firm undertone
prevailed, the better English cables being
supplemented by advices from southern
| spot markets pointing to steadier changes,
while Fall River accounts were without
unfavorable new features regarding the
status of operatives and mill owners.
/ In the afternoon futures eased some
what under selling by easily satisfied
longs, with the market finally quiet and
| steady, net unchanged to points higher.
