After midday the upward movement was resumed and mo than &C., tional gains made in the leaders. What ever there was of animation In the market was in the last hour when the buying was of a more vigorous character than for some days. The favorable tone was maintained up to the close, which was strong at generally the pest prices Although the market showed a good tone the business of the day was not espec ally cess of half a million shares. The impressive feature of today's general situation was the check upon the advance in sterling exchange.

The main strength of the situation comes from the demand for actual cotton and as long as spots are sought with eagerness contracts will naturally show a certain degree of strength. but of course the extent of the move rnent of cotton will naturally figure in regu= iatng the demand and receipts will be the cynosure of all eyes for some time 10 come.

 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2l.-Early Liverpool advices were better than looked for and our market in sympathy opened 4@6 points on the but subsequently, eased off 6 points on the freer port receipts and larger interior move ment than expected. near the close rally of 8 points from the bottom was established on the steadiness of spots making the net/gain 2 points on the day. Notwithstanding the lul .in speculation prevalent for several days. the sentiment existing Is very bullish. Purchases. however are not made with the same degree of confidence owing to the liberal port and in- ferior receipts. Every seems favorable to the article in all speculative markets and the general opinion Is that prices will go higher After such a sharp advance a reces- snl0n ma ytske place owing to the unanimity ,of optimism and absence of sellers which might precipitate liquidation should receipts expand. The strong statistical position has been instrumental in occasionng an advance of over a cent, yet buying is more freely indulged in now than when values were at their lowest level. When such conditions enter the situ- ation we suggest operating conservatively Receipts will continue to govern the future course of the market.
