BEARS MAKE NO HEADWAY

New York, November 2S.-The market for
cotton made steady start with prices to
points higher. but soon lost the gain and
Fer the rest OF the day variations were re-
stricted to narrow limits with the market
finally steady in tone with quotations net
points higher to lower on next crop
months only. The Liverpool news was dis
appointing and many traders disposed of
considerable portion of their staple. COM
mission houses in particular were liberal
sellers. Feeble efforts were made by the
bear crowd soon after the opening to dis
lodge supposedly weak long stuff, but COM
paratively little Roadway was made. The
attempt was subsequently abandoned and
attention given to covering, preparatory To
Thursdays holiday. An advance of to
3h points in futures and 1-32d in spot on
the other side was said by reliable cables
to have followed the announcement THAT
Brisson, Cooper & Co., had failed.
Prospects of continued light receipts In
the cotton belt were reported to have
added to the advance of shorts abroad.
The local trade was Influenced by the
struggling way in which cotton was COM
ing into sight.
Press and private dispatches from spot
cotton centers reported high prices.
