GRIZZLY RAID WAS a FAILURE
Market Reacted After Depression On
Opening.

The determined raid made by the
bears upon the cotton market yester-
day evidently was not attended with
success as, after a decline of fifteen
points, futures closed higher than on
Saturday. A tremendous effort was
made yesterday to break prices and the
Liverpool. bears lent their hardest
squeezes to that end, but at the finish
the old king was still in the ring. The
ginners report Twill be igiven out
today and much Importance is attach
ed to the figures contained therein,
although it would seem that this infor.
nation was pretty we'll discounted
yesterday. In the Americus market
there was absolutely nothing sdoiDg.
The decline early in the day put the
value of spot cotton about ten cents,
and at that cut price there was moth
ing doing here in the way of sales. The
market is expected to get ont Of the
ruts today and either go! up or down
to aconsiderable extent.
