COTTON MARKETS
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-COTTON-The
market for cotton was very. excited v T
active aud decidedly higher to-day. The
oDenine prices showed an advance of l.
to lG points ami further advanced to
y points on generally bullish conditions
There were q few intervals OF weak
ness resulting from proti1-takins and
occasional sales on the reaction theory.
But, as rule the market was most
vigorous, with speculation broadening
rapidly. ana including a considerable
proportion of buying OH investment &C
count.
Covering, was an important feature. The
greatest strength Of the market was
largely due to killing frost in Northern
Texas and other important points IN the
South with accounts from the MlssS-
sippi Valley indicating that the damage
by frost in that terriory last week had
been more serious than at the time
assumed.
The southern markets we're generally
spinnins districts. as well as from for
alGn spinning centres, were also OF a
5llilish character. Cotton goods We're re
ported to be in better shape.
The movement of cotton in the South
was fairly sustained, fact, however,
Iuitc generally ignored, in view OF pre-
falling sentiment. Europe bought freely,
The near positions chiefly. Wall Street
nd the South also operated extensively
IN the long side OF the account In the
afternoon buying was checked by heavy
estimated receipts for New Orleans and
