OPENING FIRM WITH GOOD ..E. GAINS RECORDED.
Speculation Decidedly Largest of Re cent Times-At the Close Prices Were Up to Points,
 November Unchanged.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of 4G6 points and gained an additional point or two immediately after the call vigorous buying for both accounts. led by room shorts and by Wal Street bulls. Speculation was decidedly the largest of recent times, though far under the treniendous trade of year ago. On the up turn Europe the South and commission houses were liberal buyers, particularly January and March options, which led the improvement and repeatedly sold ct 7.7o. In addition to strong English cables the market was strengthened by light receipts, bad weather map and, Ieliable reports of an advance of l-i6@bc in spot prices South. firmer rui- ing of print cloths, more glowing reports from dry goods centers and small crop estimates from the South were influences upon which early bnlish confidence was based; More talk of a small Government crop estimate next month was indulged in. The weekend figures we're decidedly bullish; the total amount 3S6 GOO last year. Late in the day there was a slight reaction under a furry of profit talk ing but the market readily stiffened up again on renewed demand from shorts and fresh buying from the outside. On the close the market was steady with November unchanged and other months 295 points higher.
