Satisfactory cables brought comfort to
bulls this morning. The decline at Liver
Iool when We opened was only trininy and
our market moved up rapidly some }
points The short interest is claimed to he
cat, nsiVe enough to give the market a
further good advance although there was
q fear that immense selling orders ut Q
cents might cause a decided set back and
this caused uneasiuess IL some quarters.
Increased spot sales at Live rpool helped
local prices and scared shorts with the re-
suit Of 10 10 Il points advance the first
quarter hour, profit taking broke prices.
