There was a pretty firm cotton market
to-day considering the absence Of cable
accounts. After opening quiet but firn,
az an advance Of 38S points, sentiment
Wavered for a time, and prices fell on
few points; but again the market de-
veloped pronounced strength, following
strong accounts from the south regarding
the attitude Of holders OF spot cotton,
with "a number OF other bullish factors,
including a more or less current BELIEF
that Liverpool would open up In good
shape tomorrow; also that the recent ex-
tensive liquidation had relieved the
market OF reason 10 fear January mo
tees" due tomorrow. New business
went chiefly 20 the long side OF the ac-
count This all led 10 covering, but at
no time was business particularly active,
the preference OF the trade being, ~
rule. 20 hold off for to-morr0w's cables.
The market closed very steady at net
rise OF 7Qli points.
