last Friday. The advance was caused By
spinners buying and large orders from tho
Egyptians. who have been d power In that
market OF late. The biz advance there put
Liverpool more than 100 points over Kew
York. and straddlers began 10 sell the Ems
lish market and buy New York, causing the
former 10 decline rapidly, aud the latter
open strong at the hignest points OF the day.
Liverpool continued to buy New York
throughout the day. Price being the largest
seller. and his brokers' according 10 cables
received by U.s. were reported heavy sellers
In Liverpool. The strength OF the spot months
IN both these markets was the feature OF tho
day. The movement during the holidays
was extremely light. but considerable in-
crease Is expected this week While the cot
