The cotton market started steady In
tone, with prices l to 2 points higher. |
and gained additional strength as the
session progressed. from light covering
and staunch support from the bull ranks.
The bears were somewhat Disconnected
by n decidedly better class of English
news than was anticipated, and per-
sistent statements by reliable parties that
better weather would make little diff
ference as 10 the volume Of receipts.
Speculation during the morning was on
an exceptionally small scale. there being
rev investment orders. while southern
and foreign reports were almost desti-
tute Of purpOrt. There was some delay
experienced by broken wires. Additional
rains were forecasted i'm the cotton belt.
Spot hardened. while weekly reports from
Fan River told Of well-cleaned-up stores
OF spot cotton, and urged demand for
nearby future delivery goods at last
selling prices. TIL late market for flu
lures was a quiet one. but prices steadily
advanced on light buying by shorts and
n scarcity of sellers. The close was
steady and 3Q4 points higher. Estimated
receipts at the ports for the day. 1900
bales. against l6,4S6 last week and 25.O9i
last year. For The week. $1,000 bales,
against a,4e0 last week and $1,000 last
year. To-day's receipts at New Orleans.
