There are rumors that it is to be n
velvet season. Certainly the vclvets
and the velveteenS that are to be seen
upon the shop counters would seem to
bear this out. Vivid red velvets are to
be used for trimmings, and for whole
suits there are the darker shades.

Irish knitted lace insertion put on

than the one in front. Underneath the

in New York, and it was rakishly cock

however, towards the close was mostly re- gained, the market finally ending within 3 points of the highest.
 Spot quotations were revised: MiddlinS unchanged. higher grades up 1-16c, grades below middling reduced 3-16c.
 The crop movement, in consequence of corrections in New York's stock of about 9O00 bales and deductions elsewhere, was somewhat less than anticipated, resulting for the amount into sight for the week 239, 900, against 229, 900 last year. The visible supply shows for the first time small ex- cess of American cotton over last year and visible of all kinds a moderate gain for the past seven days, now being S0,JOO bales over last years total
 The absence of general demand for spot cotton for consumptive requirements still operates against any material ad- vance.
 MT. Elliston, it Is cabled estimates the consumption of American cotton at 100IO,- 900 bales. Indications now point to crop about equaling this estimated consumption, but in consequence of an increased supply of East Indian cotton we look for a grad ually increasing visible of all kinds which, as the planting season for the new crop ad- Vances, will have a somewhat unfavorable influence.

COTTON MARKET 8 SHOWED STRENGTH At the Close Prices Were Several
 Points Higher LIGHT RECEIPTS PREDICTED Furry of Active Buying From All Quar- ters at the Opening Held Prices att About 10 Points Above Thurs
 days Close.
LIGHT RECEIPTS PREDICTED

New York, February 1.-The cotton mar ket showed unmistakable signs of inherent strength from the opening today and at no time did prices approach the final figures of yesterday. For the most part it first swung quite around to a bullish view point, while speculation changed from a radically bear character to confident bull operations On the first call the maret was firm with prices to Il points higher. A furry of active buying from all quarters held prices at about 10 points above last nights closing after which dash for profits cut down the lead some five points. But the market soon recovered and gained additional headway on a scramble of local shorts for cover and constant buying for foreign and southern account.
 The Liverpool news was easily the domi- hating influence, showing much greater re- sponse to last nights frmness here than expected while the private cables declared Ellison had come out with a decidedly bullish statement. Port receipts fell off surprisingly, those for the day being but 1635S bales whereas much larger figures had been expected. The private southern advices reported that the weakness of late in speculative markets had in no way im- paired the strength of spot cotton holders and later official reports indicated prac- tically no changes in prices. Predictions from the south pointed to continued light receipts The market was finally quiet and steady with prices net 10 to 15 points higher.
