New York Cotton Market.

New York January 19.-The cotton mar ket again took a higher level and showed well sustained, if not greater activity. The leading bulish impulses were the strong cables and smaller receipts. It was eX- pected that the market would open higher than it did, but some of the smaller local longs took advantage of the strong situa- tion to liquidate and the selling by the class added to some outside disposition to realize, checked the advance on the opening call at 4 to 6 points. Later bnsiness increased the advance of to g points, the higher ex- treme being confined to December con- tracts. August came within one point of selling at cents, but al 5,99 there was sell ing movement that turned the market a little, a reaction of to points follow ing. On the whole the feeling throughout the session remained bulish. Without quotable advance the market for spot cot ton showed positive firmness in the local market and also in the leading markets of the cotton belt which were from firm at un- changed quotations to Bc higher.
 There was no let-up in the report this morning from the American spinners in- dicative of encouraging present and pros pective conditions. New Orleans and other southern markets sent in buying orders In the afternoon the market was less en- ergetic. Cautious local traders were in- clined to take profits and outside support had a subsidng tendency, with the market finally steady at a net gain of 4q7 points,

 We called him 'Generosity," continued MT Reed. Last time I was in St. Louis l missed his usual call and asked the local manager what had become of Generosity. Why, haven't you heard?' he answered; Generosity is dead. Wouldn't you like to visit his grave?'
