The cables from Liverpool at hand when
our market opened this morning were
better than looked for, In view OF the
weakness exhibited here yesterday. The
feature of the cable was the indication
OF broadening spot demand In the English
market at sustained prices, with sales re-
ported of 1900 bales on this basis. our
market. therefore, opened STEADY, WIN
prices unchanged 10 3 points higher, ana
further advanced 2Qi points. There was
very fair interest shown by commits
sion houses. The business was, Tor the
most part however, the result or dis
position on the part OF the shorts 70 cover
their contracts in view Of the leading ten
dency shown by Liverpool, with our mar
ket pretty well evened up as 10 the
smaller accounts, as the result OK the
liquidating movement covering the past
few days. At the same time, buying was
checked somewhat by indications OF IN
creasing receipts at the ports and the In
terror. The movement OF new cotton,
however, Is still comparatively moderate,
and decidedly under the calculations or
the shorts. The general undertone OF the
market was better to-day than at any
time this week. Private cables indicated
a corresponding improvement In sentiment
in the English cotton market. Southern
correspondents are reporting indications OF
a better demand for spot cotton from do
nestle as well as foreign consumers. Crop
news was not feature to-day, although
still conflicting with bullish average, In
Guiding more general claims Of rot. she'd
aing. rust and insects. In the afternoon
there was some realizing. which eased
prices of a little. but the market was
finally steady al new gain OF lg3 points.
