weighed heavily on Liverpool II was a

could be bought here without having n
greater effect on prices. but the slightly
larger movement. and above all the price,
brought out a large amount of long cot

taking of profits has been the feature dur

erpool interest to cover at a handsome
profit on their straddles After the Liver
pool buying was over the market slowly
eased on the estimate of the receipts to-
morrow at Houston, which was larger
than expected. The market closed steady,

Savannah Jan. 22.-The advance OF Il
cent in cotton on Saturday was followed by
a second advance of 1-16-cent to-day
which brings the price of good mddlin :
to HIS cents. These advances come in
the face of a selling movement on the part
of a number of holders. who have conclud-
cd it is better to let go at what is satsfac-
tory prices To them, rather than run the
risk of over-staying the market by wait
ing for better prices. For the past W elk
selling has been gradually increasing, and
ii il keeps up at its present pace, the
chances are that the next fortnight will
see cotton moving at lively rate. While
il is nor apparent yet whether there will
be continued selling or not, the probab l.
ity is there will. unless prices are advance
cd to a point beyond what exporters are
willing to-pay. There seems TO be a reai-
mess on their part TO buy freely at pres,
ent prices or thereabout, and the fact
spinners are none too well supplied leads
10 the belief that buying may be contin-
ued. Brokers state their +. O. b. business
