 New York, August 23.-The strength that developed at midday yesterday car ried prices much higher this morning. At one time yesterday January was 7.56 and this morning 7.SS, but even this failed ito bring out any long cotton in quanti- ties sufficient to stop the upward move ment At the opening there was consid- erable profit taking by those who were contented with the advance, but the ad- vance in Liverpool attracted new buying in sufficient volume to absorb the cotton and put up prices.
 As far as the general situation was concerned there was no change. Bad news from Texas and too much rain in the Atlantic states, higher spot markets in the South and a larger demand for spot cotton all added to the strength Of the market. While many were inclined to take profits, believing that prices can hardly go much above cents for the present, there was no more short selling this morning than before this week.
