The speculative movement in cotton
futures was not so active to-day, yet a
very comfortable business was trans
acted at a higher range Of prices. The
market opened quiet. with prices 2ui
points higher, on buying and chiefly by
shorts. following the Liverpool cables,
which were better than expected There
was a further improvement soon after
the call, when selling set in, owing 20
rumors Of good gains in Central Texas,
while receipts at the ports were also
bearise factors. Liquidation became a
prominent feature, but the shorts were
inclined to take profits, and after most
OF the early Improvement had been lost,
there was a renewed upward movement,
on continued covering with the trading
level at noon and 2llj points higher than
the closing figures of the previous day
with some evidence of renewed outside
buying. Trading was generally. however
confined TO local operations, with more
or less disposition TO even up" in an
ticipation Of Mondays holiday In the
afternoon the market was decidedly firm
on persistent covering by room shOrts
and exceptionally light covering. The
close was steady at a net gain OF 6a'
points.
