eibert & clay's Market Letter.

The Liverpool market fulfilled expecta- tions this morning on the opening, and remained steady and quiet throughout the day, closing at a net gain of points over yesterday. The most interesting bit of information. outside of cables, was inc addition of 20O0 to yesterdays sales. making the total 10000. This, when large sales are necessary to restrict somewhat the contention of bears that spinners are not buying, is very gratifying. Cables again today reflect an increasing change in sentiment. and steadily improving de- mand for cotton. with trade good in Manchester, a large proportion of which ia presumably for India. Spot sales to- day in Liverpool 5000. at an advance of 2 points
 In our markets there was a bare va riance from yesterdays close on the onenIng this morning, but soon after, when the improved condition of the spot market became generally known. the fu- ture positions advanced considerably.
 Information from New York to the effect that prominent bear house had advised the purchase of cotton. together with the fact that the bear leader was again supposed to be covering, added new zest to the already improved state of feeling Likewise locals were advised that the New York market derived It's chief support from the large purchases ,nada bv New Orleans.
