SPOT
 COTTON REPORTS After the Call Active Profit Tak-
 ing Set In LIVERPOOL WAS SENSITIVE Trading ThrouphOut the Late Session Was Very Active, Overlapping Anything of Recent Time.
 Closed Firm.
LIVERPOOL WAS SENSITIVE

New York February 1s-The cotton market opened steady with October one point lower and other months to 5 points higher, an indifferent response to firm Liverpool cables and very bullish spot cotton reports from every portion of the belt. Moreover, soon after the call active profit-taking set in and bear sell ing became popular under free port re- ceipts and fear that the market was over long. Liverpool quickly eased off under the New York action being very sensitive to bearish news of any character. Private cables, however stated that spinning in- terests and the market leaders in Flu rope were strong, bullish and free buyers on every slight decline. Throughout the first hour selling for both accounts was very active for both accounts and weak holders seemed to practically withdraw from the market. The wave of liquida- tion forced May off to $40 and July to S.4 around which prices strong In new buying came to light, and bull leaders stepped in to support the entire list A large estimates from tomorrow 8 Houston receipts for a time checked any material improvement but reports that Southern spot markets were up Mc after yester- days advance of 1sc, making Ac In forty eight hours, spurred shorts to cover. A rumor that print cloths were up Mc and predictions for a big loss in interior stocks this week greatly helpted to sup port the market. Soon after the noon hour March shorts begun to show great uneasiness later being completely routed by sensational rumors to the effect that parties who were long of that option controlled the New York stock and in- tended demanding the cotton due them on delivery day. Before the close this option jumped to S06 or to premium of 6 points over the next highest option, whereas but a short time ago several months were holding a better position than March. The surprising strength of that month stimulated covering in the rest of the list and encouraged new buy ing through commission houses. Trading throughout the late session was very ac- tive, overlapping anything of recent time. Conservative estimates placed the days l business at 5OO,OO0 bales.
 The close was firm with prices at about top figures, an advance of to IA points on present crop months and to points on next crop options.
