New York, May 5.-The cotton mar
ket was fairly active and generally
firm on a renewal of bull support ana
covering of recent sellers. The open
ing was very firm at an advance Oh }
6D12 points in response to much nrln-
er cables than expected. Shorts were
good buyers and there was some ue-
mand for long accounts. ShorIS were
good BUYERS and there was some de-
mand for long accounts, but it was
thought that the advance in the LiV-
erpool market might have been the
result of bull manipulation to make
selling basis here and with the weather
good there was considerable cotton for
sale. After working up or points
from the opening figures prices eased
off 405 points under these offerings,
but firmed up again around midday,
and in the afternoon reported the
highest level of the day, or a net gain
of about 20 points on active COW
ering and continued bull support, both
from local and New Orleans Sources.
Private wires claimed a much firmer
spot situation in the South, aiding in
the advance, while there We're also a
number of reports of an unfavorable
start for the new crop in portions of
the belt, notably Texas. The close
was steady, with prices only 2 or 8
points off from the best at net gain
of 14@1S points Sales were estimat-
ed at 10000 bales.
