Speculation in cotton continues 10 hang
fire. and the volume of business was
small to-day although the market show
ed a generally firm undertone at a slight
average advance, the foundation of which
was the favorable character OF English
advices. especially the feature of large
spot sales of cotton at Liverpool, aggre-
eating $1,000 bales for two days, closing
at an advance OF 1-32d., while futures in
the English market were also higher. An
other favorable factor was the encourage
ing quality of advices from cotton-goods
makers and markets. But business be-
came rather slow on Change after the
market had opened steady at an adj
vance of 10 3 points, with shOrt-lived
interval of activity following the bullish
feeling awakened by the English cables.
the market tanned OFF and
assumed local characteristics. The with
irawal of outside support was abrupt and
marked. An easier interval followed.
under cautious liquidation, az crop ac-
counts were not uniform, although in the
main they were bearish. The market was
finally quiet at unchanged prices to a net
advance of point.
