 Advance.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The cotton mar ket started steady in tone with prices lG5 points higher and ruled generally firm all day on scattering demand from the room contingent and spurts of buying for out side account. The cables were fully one point better than expected and English buying in the fall months was something of a feature during the first hour. New Orleans buying in the local pit was fea- ture of the days operations. Soon after the call a commission house purchased 5000 bales of October and 5000 bales Of December, pit traders selling this cotton. much of 1t short. on the theory that re- action would follow the first hours trad ing. But while there was elight reactions from time to time the general course of the market was upward. The weather re- perts, public and private. indicated con tinued drought over the central and west, ern belt and the forecast for tonight ana tomorrow pointed to clear conditions generally. Moreover. bulls here were en- couraged by heavy demand for spot cot ton, sales in the open market reaching D. 356 bales. with rumor having 1t that some 1000 to f0OO bales more had been quietly dcne between Fall River spinners and the people who took August cotton on con tract.
 Crop reports are mixed. Receipts at all points were again small. The market was
