Immediately developed pronounced activi-
~ on the opening call, with a further au-
vance Of 1a2 points. Later The situation
despite a few periods OF reaction, under
liquidation OF long accounts, together
with some bear pressure. The latter was
marked by extreme caution, however.
and in addition TO the publish erect OF
English advices. the bulls had the adj
vantage of favorable adv.ces from New
England and the dry-goods district, while
the southern spot markets were reportel
TO be firm. still another bullish factor
was the claim OF damage TO the planted
cotton by reason of lack OF moisture In
the East and extensive rains in the west.
The trade here was governed by the
fact that spot sales at Liverpool had
averaged $500 bales per day Tor the las,
four days, while private cables predi1teu
continued activity on account OF MAT
chester and Continental spinners. Equal-
lv favorable reports were received from
