Further Advance Expected

D. W. Hunter q Co. say OF today's eottoN
market: Late advlces from New York say
that that market advanced 2 more points on
the curb. II Is evident that the lowest price
for the season lies behind us. and with a
better demand from Europe we do not doubt
that cotton Will still further advance Rainy
weather continues over the South. aud there
ls no doubt that tls has deteriorated the
yield 10 some extent. Large crop estimates
are no longer predcmlnant, and this fact viii
cause splnners 10 buy more freely, as they
zee now that they have missed the lowest
price.
