NOTHING GAN STOP
 COTTON'S ADVANCE.
Market Is Nervous But Prices
 Make New Records
SPOT MARKETS STRONGER
Reports From Liverpool State That Manufacturers Will Vote Against Further CurtaiIment In Pro-
 duction by Mills.

New York, May 7.-The cotton market was very nervous today, quite a sharp early break being followed by an even sharper recovery which carried the list into new high ground for the current bull movement. The close was firm at net advance of 19 to 20 points. Sales were es- timated at 275,0OO bales.
 The market opened steady at a decline of 1 to points, and during the forenoon sold off to a net loss of Il to IA points in response to weak Liverpool futures better weather prospects, realizing and in creased offerings from local bears who seemed to think that the talk of private settlements yesterday reflected an end of the special strength in July.
 But the very large English spot sales and reports of strength In southern spot markets were accompanied by consider able buying on a scaledown, and when Wall street bulls who are credited with having taken profits earlier in the week began to supportp rices, there was a very sharp advance. The market reached the high point late in the day when early sellers seemed to be covering in some con fusion and prices were about 35 10 % points above the low level of the morn- ing.
 The close was within & point or two Of the best on the active months. A cable from Liverpool reported that short tune was considered advisable in Manchester. but a later cable said that manufacturers at the meeting next week would vote against organized curtailment. Some very bullish spot advices were received, not ably from Memphis, and while big spot people were said to be selling in Liver pool such interests were buyers here at times during the day.
