New York, Nov. 2S.-Liverpool reported
a higher market today by cas- points ana
the local trade was consequently cncouc-
aged except where big crop estimates are
adhered TO end these are few. People VINO
have studied the situation Closely feel
that the crop is q small one Receipt
are now large it il true, but after the close
OF the year will fall off materially. Tne
two bureau reports which are due next
week, are bound to be very buliish.
It is expected that the bears, as usual,
will pooh Dc oh the figures and try to prove
that they point to an enormous crop, bat
sellers are getting more and more nervous
and such tactics w. II not aval, much. The
world will nave to g t along wl.h a moder-
ate yield az best it can and the only rem
edy for spinners is to fill UP now or pay
more later on. Liverpool stocks arc gain
ing slowly. Even when they will equal
last gear they will still be moderate.
Shorts covered freely when the market
opened and not much cotton was for sale.
Receipts were estimated at $4,000 agains
65 eco last year AS heretofore the market
has gone above it's high figures after hav-
ing a series of setbacks by which short
interest was accumulated. On every little
reaction or setback would purchase the
late positions.
