COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, February 1.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance of
3a5 points, in response to higher cables
than expected, and sold about to {
points net higher during the middle of
the morning on covering of shorts and
continued support from trade interests
in the absence of any southern offerings
of consequence. Advices both as to the
volume of trade and as to the labor stu
alton in textile circles seemed to be
rather more encouraging this morning,
but general buying on the advance was
no doubt restricted by good weather in
the south and predictions of further in
crease in the movement.
The market was very firm and consider
ably more active late in the forenoon on
heavy covering and more general buying
for long account, with prices selling
about ten to fourteen points net higher.
Reports of big demand for spot cotton
in the south and firm interior markets
seemed responsible for the buying move
ment, and 1T was rumored that some Of
the former big bears were covering their
lines and taking the long side of the mar
ket on the advance.
