Ac- tive demand for spot cotton with further rise of points in futures abroad created a very favorable impression throughout the trade here. Very heavy rains over the central belt, amounting to cloudbursts in many instances, led to the belief that the crop must have been seriously injured and caused buying for a sharp advance Crop reports from Mississippi and Alabama were much less favorable than of late. In the early afternoon the market was very steady and at times quite active with prices holding well up to the top figures of the morning. The South and Wall Street bought with greater confidence. while sellers were scarce and for the most part consisted or buyers on the opening.

This action improved the condition here considerably. re- suiting in a sharp advance at the opening; after which a quiet and steady tone prevailed with very little change in prices either way. Closing quotations are about 2l points hisher than Friday. -. -s .
 In the spot department the pressure of Of ferinKs especially from the country, still ex- ercises an unfavorable influence. as the events of today have failed to occasion any note worthy improvement in demand. and this fact has created a doubt as to the ability or the market to sustain the advance.
