New York. Jan. 6-There was a steady
market for cotton futures as developed
by the opening call. which showed an adj
vance of 2a3 points. A little later the i'm
provement increased to 500 points on yes
terday's closing prices The principal bull
influence was the cable news from Liver
pool, showing spot sales of 1900 bales in
the English market the confirming private
cables forecasting large activity on the
part of the foreign consumers. There is
now on the way to Liverpool $4,000 bales
of American cotton, which is materially in
excess of the quantity afio0t last week,
or last year, the corresponding time. This
fact in connection with reports indicating
that foreigners were still eager for sup
plies, causing American splnuers to active
Of frmness. and covering was a feature in
the morning. Wall street and other side
buying was not what the local traders had
depended upon, however, and realizing
turned the market l42 points from the best
figures of the forenoon. But throughout
the session the undertone Of the market
was steady, reports of bad weather in the
cotton belt contributing to the hesitation
to sell for short account. The market was
finally steady at a net gain of 3d5 points
Port receipts fell below expectations. while
the weather forecast was for continued
unfavorable conditions tonight and to-
morrow.

New York Jan. 6-Paine, Murphy & Co
say Of cotton: Liverpool showed firm
ness at the opening and advanced about N
point during the day with spot sa.es of
l2OO0 bales The opening here was about
> points advance. More activity was dem
onstrated than for some time, and com
mission houses had good buying orders
both from Wall street and the South The
movement continued upward and a couple
points further advance was added TO the
days advance. Port receipts continue light
This also had its influence and helped
prices. There is sim no decided move
ment in cotton, but the market IS honey
combed with buying orders at few
points below the market The FACT that
the closing prices were at about the best
of the day indicates that a bctier feeling
exists and further advance may result
during che next few days"
