NEW YORK, September 2S-Aside from
a brief period of activity and sharp adj
vance at the opening, to-day's cotton
market lacked interesting features. There
was every evidence that our advance of
| Yesterday had given Liverpool shorts a
| bad scare Initial cables reported an ad-
vance of / point in futures at that point,
| with later advices noting a still further
| Improvement Of 1lzM24 points on active
| covering. Frequent and almost violent
| fluctuations were reported by puDlc ana
private cables, but the close was steady,
at about the highest point of the day.
| our market opened quiet and firm, with
prices TO points higher. Foreign buy
| ing chiefly Liverpool, and support from
| the smaller shorts sustained the advance
| for few minutes, but by the end of the
! first hour selling by the leading bears,
| southern representatives, and scaipers
| had caused a reaction TO last nights final
| figures. The market was steady at the
! decline however. and late in the session
| advanced, on covering. Free receipts at
| both the ports and the interior towns,
| favorable weather reports, ana an en-
| couraging average In crop accounts check
