COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, November 23.-There was
another active buying movement in the
cotton market today, with the close firm
at net advance of from IA to "a points.
The market opened firm at an advance
of II to 15o points on heavy overnight
buying orders. inspired by big spinners'
takings, prospects for continued heavy
exports. predictions of a rapid falling of
in ginning, and bullish trade advices.
The initial prices were a little higher
than due on the cables and the market
eased off or 10 points right after the
call under realizing, but offerings were
readily absorbed, owing to a broadening
outside demand, excited covering by local
shorts, rumors that sold-out bulls were
replacing their cotton at the advance,
and the market quickly picked up. reach
ing the highest point of the day and
season in the late trading, when jan
at 1866.
bullish view of the visible supply
statement, reports of an increasingly
active demand for cotton goods from
jobbers who had previously been holding
off for a lower raw material basis and
further bullish southern spot and crop
advices appeared to aud to the excite
ment on the advance. but local trades
were inclined to attribute the strength
to more general recognition of small
crop estimates and of the enormous
trade absorption, rather than to any par
ticular item in the days news.
