 The market took a sudden lift yesterday. bringing with 1t an improved demand. The local official quotation rose to 3-lsc. but that figure was too low. In the afternoon 300 bales were bought at 7-i6c. The grade was somewhat above middling and the basis price was about 5-1ec or an eight higher than the Board of Trade prices.
 Another broker bought a lot of 150 bales and also had to pay 5-1so. middllnR basis This batch was the accumulation or ten days from farmers who had to dispose of some of their cotton that they might get ready money. The grade was above mid- ding.
 The advance of yesterday. following sn IS point rise in New York futures caused the holders to be much more optimistic: Several said yesterday that they intended to wait for 10 cent cotton at the lowest The factors, however. expect that c gradual releasing will begin with s1sc cotton The short interests are seeking to cover now. ana 1t is presumed that the present spot de- mand is due to their necessity of finding the best market before there is further advance.
