che cotton market was considerably
more active to-day, and showed at one
time a net gain Of 4qo points, ait.r
opening steady at an advance OF point
The Improvement was chiefly due TO the
continued very heavy demand for spot
cotton at Liverpool, with private caDies
Indicating that under the demand ior
actual cotton in the English market theIe
was q very widespread inquiry TOT COTTON
products, with orders being hled wen
into the future. In addition TO the loT-
eign news, speculation was stimulated AZ
this point by reports from the southern
spot markets to the effect tnat eNpoItens
competition for desirable grades OF COT
ton, with difficulty in obtaining assort-
ment. At the same time reports irV,n
cotton goods markets We're or hlghly
tendency of the market was arrested
hoWeyer by reports from the cotton Delt
indicating generally favorable crop con,
ditions. There was some hquldauon anu
I.ouisiana, Texas, Arkansas, ana Missis-
sinpi. and showers elsewhere ine the cot
ton belt. The extraordinary absorption
of cotton for manufacturing purposes az
present prices has, however, acted as
n warning TO the bear contingent, espe-
cially i'm the view OF the markets slowly
but steadily creeping up for week or
two past. The disposition was TO de-
crease the short interest rather than 10
increase it, A feature OF to-day's mar
ket was the broadening tendency OF out
side speculation In the staple. The mar
ket closed steady at net gain OF 10
points.
