 NEW YORK, Jan 22.-Stragglers who failed to enter the market in expectation of an op- portunity to buy at big decline were on the anxious seat when the market opened today This was caused by an unexpected spuFt in Liverpool market, prices there showing the best gains of the season: Heavy buying set in. which lifted our market sharply. Shorts were anxious buyers and people who considered prices high at i2 cents were inclined to take q good quantity at 45o6 90. As to the de- velopments over night there was nothing new Everybody wanted to buy according to the situation as 1t has been known for some time. independent of what may be known hereafter It was being recognized that cotton would be scarce as the season advanced because tho crop had not been made to supply the demand Most bullish news came from Europe today indicat- ing that the trade was gradually wheeling into the bull column. The market was well sup ported during the forenoon, although there was enough profit taking to prevent any spurt of magnitude. One feature was an early rise to lb cents for July. Liverpool showed an ad- vance of l9d24 points with the tone steady. The South sent many bullish points on the movement from now on Houston expects small receipts tomorrow The in sight movement was 223, 900. against 27o 900 last year.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Jan. 22.-The market opened irregular, hardly showing az much ad- vance as expected. Some selling and heavy re- aiizing at the opening temporarily checked the advance, but the selling power was soon ex- very bulHsh all day and there being more free buying around these prices than for some days past. though stormy weather has disturbed wire connections. We have repeatedly called attention to the advantage offered by . strad-
 de between August and October. This option was selling the first of the week 24o points apart. It closed tonight about le0 with every at least 100 points. As the option becomes more active the spot situation Is becoming critical and the efforts of the short interest to cover are great factor in boosting this market On New York's closing tonight Liver pool Is due to come 263 points up Saturday morning. -
