 ExCh
Covering and Bull Support Follows Sensational Advance + Liver pool-0ains of 32 to Al
 Points at Close. -t

NEW YORK, Dec. t7-The cotton market opened strong at an advance of l7@27 points on excited covering and bull support following @ sensational advance in Liverpool. The mar kct had been expected to show ti1e decline It opened unchanged. but afterward shot up the local opening some ls@le English points pet higher. Private cables explained the ad- vance on the ground of scarcity of shorts in consequence of American. continental and Egyptian buying with the impression more or less prevalent that the New Orleans bull leAder had helped. the upward course of prices: started active covering in the local market and for the first few minutes buying orders came pouring in from every side in sharp contrast koGho holiday aspect of recent times. Naturally ehe advance. carrying the latter months over the previous high record. attracted heavy reaI- 1Sing of outside accounts. but all onertnss were prumptly absorbed and only unimportant set- hacls occurred during the whole session with ehe bull leaders supporting the market aggres- stveiy on every sign of weakness The highest aold at l26e. March I2 30. May 2.e0 and July at l2.93. these being net gains of 359 A2 points. All kinds of news was circulated great numbers from the South claiming ap- preaching exhaustion and a very bullish dispo- sition among holders with some private advices alleging that Southern spot handlers had de- faulted in their contracts to ship spot cotton abroad. thus contributing to the advance in Liverpool. where it was claimed spot people were protecting themselves by purchases of fu- lures against these failures of expected sup plies, while other messages reporting diffi- culties among spot cotton houses at Bremen end Havre added to the general feverishness of sentiment. Receipts for the day were liberal and the estimates for tomorrow full, but these factors had no influence and the market closed at rearly the top figures or at net gain of 32@4I points on the general list with the tone firm.
