The cotton market opened steady at
unchanged prices to an advance Of 2
points. This proved to be the lowest
level of the session. Subsequent business
was upon steadily upward scale with
the advance finally q matter Of TO
points. and the close at a net rise "f
206 points. The 1Irmness continued prac-
tically to the close OF the session. De-
nland improved as the day advanced.
The higher ruling OF prices started on
better cables than expected, and was &C
CELEBRATED by indications of continued
small receipts and generally firm spot
markets. Following the opening call there
was feverish demand from shorts on
indications of very light receipts at I1ous-
ton and small estimates for other points
Of accumulation. Wall Street became
factor, giving preference to March and
May, while the public demand In general
was for these months. and also for July
and August. Considerable investment de-
,vsloped on the ground that there. had
been exagEeration as to the car short
age especially as 10 the extras. Private
cables from Liverpool indicated a grow
ing uneasiness. in consequence of the
smallness of the movement. The de-
mand to-day was from all classes Of buy
ers. notably on account of New England
spinners the western grain crop. and
the South. The market closed with an
upward tendency. The total sales of tu-
lures estimated a 100000 bales

COTTON GOSSIP.

The cotton market was steady and
closed at fractional gains.
Liverpool cables were better than eN-
pected-
Very little outside business and light
receipts held the market steady.
Mum said: Steadiness OF spot markets
and light crop movements are holding
aggressive bears in check, but there APP
pears to be plenty of cotton for sale on
all advances. and We think the market
is likely to work lower for lack Of out
side support and liquidation by tired
longs till after the holidays
There is nothing in the situation TO en-
courage agsrcssiyeness by either side.
