many in the trade had been anticipating

the excitement at the opening had been

floor of the New York exchange. The bull
clique, which had Sold so freely during
the early hours, turned insistent buyers OF
July and August, while houses with Euro
pean connections and New Orleans inter-
ests were also urgent buyers. Private ca
bles attributed the advance at Liverpool
to demand in the absence of sellers and
to the demand for spot cotton, leading 10
predictions that the tactics employed 50
successfully in bulling the New Orleans
market were now to be used by the Liver
pool bulls, who. It was thought, were en-
deavoling to get control OF the spot supply
available in that market. Some disappoint-
ment was felt at the early respons of the
New Orleans market to the Liverpool "a
vance, but later the market exhibited lead
ing strength. The SPOT markets throughout
the south were generally firm and I'M
changed to NC higher, but no sales were
reported from most of the centers. The
weather map was favorable and the move
ment ran over last years. but these factors
attracted little attention at any time during
the day. Toward the close some options
eased on under realizing, but the market
was finally firm and very excited at a net
gain of 1000 points: Total sales OF fu-
lures estimated at 100000 bales.
