The upward tendency OF the cotton
movement continued to-day. FROM tue
start speculation was conducted on very
broad lines, and included all classes OF
the trade. Aided by weak Liverpool
cables the bear contingent attacked the
market aggressively on the opening. ana
succeeded in dislodging several imp0rtant
lines of cotton purchased yesterday anu
in tumbling prices TO points. Ihelr
enthusiasm was brought TO a sudden end,
and was replaced by decentralization with
in the first half hour, and from that time
on, with scarcely halt, prices ciimped
steadily upward, tho top notch being ~
points over the close of yesterday. Inc
upward movement following the call re-
suited directly from very heaVy buying
orders from southern points. Inc ior-
eigners soon came into line, purchasing
large blocks of January, March, ana MAY
delivery staple. Shorts lost heart ana
made a wild scramble TO cover, whlch
continued all through the balance OF the
session. a significant feature OF the days
business was energetic buying or the near
months for American spinners account.
BUYERS seemed Indifferent 10 the prices
named by sellers. paying fancy figures In
many cases for the grades desired. Inc
official reports from southern markets
noted still higher prices at many points
with great activity generally. Late ca
hes from the English market recorded a
fun response to our rally. The POSITION
OF local shorts was made additionally pre-
carious by reports that the crop move
ment was rapidly falling or. The crop
news was anything but satisfactory, whiie
weather conditions were not favorable
TO an early maturing Of growing cotton.
The market for futures closed firm, with
prices net 6 to . points higher.
