IBy Private Wire From c. W. Lee & Col
 NEW YORK. Oct 2I.-After the action of the market yesterday the sharp advance today was not wholly unexpected. Shorts have be- come nervous the cotton situation and with spinners showing more disposition to enter the market there has not been the supply necessary to prevent prices from going up. Considering the season of the year and tho fact that cotton is supposed to be most plenti- ful now the strength of the market is re- markable. It indicates a general belief in a moderate crop It will be remembered that a great deal of literature has been circulated on the bear side of cotton by one or two people eral large lines have been covered and there is a general impression that interest in progress has been most aggressive at the bot tom. The effect of the Government report is 4ust beginning to make itself felt on prices IL takes some weeks for the sentiment to swing around. American spinners beginning to wake up. It not difficult to predict that this would be the case before long and even more exciting times be expected before Spring The feature of the market today was the same class of buying that took place yes terday for foreign account As long Flu rope is willing to take cotton around oA cents there hardly be much of a break in the cotton. Of course must be conservative in the fall of the year, but the best people in the trade the side of higher prices We would buy cotton any break at any time. Markets in the fall are not like the spring when prices keep going up and up. We would not sell short cotton under prevailing conditions.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2I.-The cotton market opened strong at an advance of Sc l6 points on active covering and buying for long account following cables that were higher than ex- pected by a considerable margin. including an advance of 10 points in the English spot mar ket. In addition to the higher cables the out look was for lighter receipts for the day and while the weather was nearly ideal so far as late developments. picking and the movement were concerned, the market continued steady to firm after the call in spite of heavy realiz- ing sales by recent buyers who were operating on the reactionary theory. All sorts of bull talk was heard the advance. Continued tor gave rise to rumors of a corner in that op- Aion and after a setback around midday the market was rallied to net gain of I7424 points by reports that the New Orleans bull leader was bidding for large blocks of March in the Southern markets around lOc. The esti- mates for tomorrows receipts at leading points were rather irregular, Houston and Calves The Southern spot markets however. were gen. erally firm from unchanged to 3-l higher and this helped in the spread of bullish sentiment as did also private cables from Liverpool, attributing the advance in that market to the demands of spinners who said they had become alarmed over the smallness of spot offerings. The advancing tendency also encouraged by the large exports for the day, which footed up some 45, 900 bales The reported failure of the National Bank at Pittsburg had no effect on the market, which continued firm until near the close when demand became slightly less in- sistent and realizing easing the market on 1t closed barely steady at net loG IS points high CT. Sales were 800 900 bales, estimated. Port receipts for the day were 42,9oo bales. against 66, oe3 last. year.

The rally was helped by the firm out side markets and by reports from the North west of Q big business there yesterday for business reported at New York. Shorts covered freely during the early hours and prices held strong until toward noon when a reversal in sentiment occurred.
