of cotton today "The Liverpool cot
ton market was surprisingly encouraging
this morning. Spot sales there were larg
and futures were l1a-64d higher The al
vance was attributed 10 the fear Of al
interruption in visible supplies in the war
1t had the effect of stimulating our mar
ket. which opened 4 TO s points higher
and in spite of considerable liquidation
after the opening, improved a little fur
ther and closed at the top. Liverpool
bought freely here and the local bear
covered largely. August opened al COS
nuctuated between 6.08c and 6.10c an
closed al 6.09c TO 6t0c, with the tone o
the market very steady The delay o
, the Senate in acting upon the interven
tion resolution encourages the friends o
peace. as they claim that all delay help
that end. Should Liverpool continue buy
ing, prices will advance further. but we d
not expect a sustained Improvement"
