course by break of 8 to 3h points in
Liverpool to-day and by another bad
turn of the stock market. But almost
Immediately after the call unbiased
room operators recognized great inher-
ent strength in the market. Covering
was soon in active progress and new
buying figured prominently. The ap-
pearance of an intensely cold wave IN
the Southwest and a forecast for very
low temperatures in the central and
eastern districts over Sunday, gave
rise to predictions for a light move
ment of the crop next week. To-day's
receipts were not up to expectations,
and estimates indicated very moderate
arrivals on Monday. Wall street, the
South, the continent and American
spinners were buyers on the first
hours advance. Room bulls were I'M
firing in their efforts to support the
market, and the bears were greatly
disturbed by the unlocked for action OF
values which were soon even with last
nights final bids, despite the weakness
abroad, and the unsatisfactory condi-
ton of the stock market. Trading
was not specially active, but reflected
a healthy speculative situation.

at S.16c, at IL a. m. Partial commun-
ication was reopened with Liverpool
to-day, and we received it's closing

showed a decline of 2 to 8 points, as
compared with last evening, causing
our market to open about points low

rally to yesterdays prices on the

bought to-day on that theory. The
