New York, Jan. 4.-A substantial gain
was made by cotton to-day due in part
to investment buying AT best the mar
ket showed a rise of 1@2 points, after
opening quiet and easy at an advance of
2q3 points There was some realizing in
the afternoon, but the market was finally
steady, at a net advance of 2d3 points
The improvement originated in better ca
bles from Liverpool than had been looked
for, and was accelerated by a number of
| adVlces from the south indicating a less
liberal use of fertilizers, and confirming
the idea of reduced cotton acreage. The
| firmness was increased by moderate port
receipts, and by fairly encouraging reports
from Fall River as to trade prospects.

New York, Jan 14-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton: IAN unexpectedly favorable
| Liverpool caused a slight reaction in the
| cotton market to-day. Early cables re-
ported an advance there of one-half-sixty-
fourth, and this was supplemented later
in the day by an additional rise of one
sixty-fourth. The opening here was 2
points higher, May selling on the first call
at 5.S1c. After the opening the execution
of some good buying orders for Liverpool
| resulted in a further improvement of a
| few points, May advancing to 5.85c. The
| demand then disappeared and prices grad
ually eased off again. New Orleans sold
| moderately. The movement for the week
was very large, but this had been dis
counted. May declined to 5.S1c and clos
| ed at 5S2c, with the tone of the market
steady. There is nothing new in the Sit
uation."
