COTTON SCARS AGAIN.
SuIly over In Liverpool Said to BE Heavy
Buyer.

There was an advance in prices at the
New York Cotton Exchange yesterday equal
to from S1.5O to 81 on the next crop months.
The rise was due mainly to an advance in
Liverpool Of nearly 81 to 81 so bale.
Egyptian and Continental operators were
said to be heavy buyers across the water,
and it was also reported that Daniel J
Sully. the prominent American operator,
now in Liverpool was also a big buyer.
On the advance there was heavy taking of
profits on both sides OF the water, which
caused a sharp reaction. but it was followed
here by another marked rise in the next
crop on reports of break in the Mississippi
levee near Vcksburg. The break was
really at Brunswick. Another factor in the
advance was the general expectation Of a
bullsh Government report to-day.
The close was steady, at net advance for
the day of 81 to II points en- the next crop,
and 10 on August. while July wound up al a
net decline Of point. September closed at
1870, October at lO.5sc., December al
10.31c., January at 10000, August at II 96c.
and July at l2.24c. The estimated sales for
the day were 100, 900 bales.
