New York Cotton Market.

New York Cotton Market.
 New York Jan 25-The cotton market advanced 4@5 points this morning on light buying by the local contingent, fol- lowing more favorable cables than had been looked for. Sellers became cautious owing to the moderate movement of cot ton at ports and further information as to the cotton acreage was more bullish. It was also current that decreased demand for fertilizers and small demand for mules justified -apprehensions of smaller cotton acreage. On this there was some investment buying, as well as covering by shorts. The English cotton market news was the more satisfactory. In the after noon the cotton market was quiet but firm, with prices at the best point of the day on light covering, inspired by predic- tions for smaller receipts at interior points and the ports tomorrow. The market closed steady at net gain of 4Q7 points. Total sales futures $500 bales.
