New York Nov THE prevailing sem
timent in the cotton market circles Is
against an improvement in values, al
though temporary rallies are to be looked
for The movement is picking up some,
but not in an extravagant fashion. IT is
true but receipts have been gaining
enough and the big gap between the
daily Improvement movement and that
of the corresponding period last year has
been filled up of late to an extent that
leads to hops of a gain showing an ex-
cess over last years as was the case not
many weeks ago. The estimate of Mr..
Neili is still influencing the minds of spec
ulators who had been contemplating the
market while the ginners returns indi-
eating a crop not over 10,OOOOO Is ac-
copied as too absurd to deserve consid-
Grafton, in short to broaden the market
and revive speculation 1t looks as II
prices must find a lower level. Today's
opening figures were to points higher,
but most of the gain was soon lost. Lead
ing firms bought one moment and sold
tic other The weather was mild in the
belt and generally fair The clique is I'M
derstood to be carrying 10000 January con-
tracts and dumping of big lots is feared
by cautious traders.
