very active covering by the more timid
longs and under brisk selling by room
OPERATORS Heayiness in the Liverpool mar
ket and large port receipts were the factors
which most depressed the early market,
The first scramble this morning sent May
to s.36 and July to S.34, around which level
conservative buyers turned for cover and
some of the more thoughtful room traders

Rct advices did not reflect any particular
weakness and reports from cotton goods
aud dry goods centcrs told OF exceptionally
good demand at very profitable prices. AS
the session wore along the trade lost a
goodly portion Of its bearish convictions
and became fearful lest after all the March
option should 90 out at the top and that all
notices be promptly taken up.
The close was steady, prices net uu-
changed 10 8 points higher May closing at
IA, or S points from the bottom.
