The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET
New York. Nov. 17.-The early mar
ket for cotton futures proved TO be very
disappointing, not only as regards the
volume of business, but as to the scope
of fluctuations. Opening steady,sa2
points higher to lower, variationssfb
midday did not exceed five points, and
at no time could operations have been
called active. The cables were regard
ed as fair. and the news from the cot
ton belt was rather bullish. The chief
obstacle in the way OF vigorous spccu-
lation seemed to be uncertainty as to
the crop movement. Early in the aft
ernoon the market developed consider
able strength and speculative enthusi-
assn was aroused By 4. report from New
Orleans that the total amount brought
into sight for the week rea he'd but SS5,-
600 bales, or 10000 less than predicted.
Shorts sought cover and prices were.
soon up 10 points from the lowest with
bniliSh sentiment once moro holding su-
prcmacy. Wall street furnished fair
buying orders, and the South purchased
the spring and summer months on a
fairly liberal scale. Other weekly re-
justments of statistics proved almost
equally bullish. At the close the mar
