COTTON GOSSIP

Browne Drakeford & Co. Liverpool,
cable. Market advanced in consequence
of unfavorable weather reports, good
spot demand
Memphis wires. Sales Of Il. 900 bales
of spot cotton at Liverpool seemed to
denote some eagerness for supplies by
spinners. our opening advance has not
been well sustained because of general
profitable taking and forecast for clear
ing in western belt Sentiment is bull
ish and trade generally believes that
fresh damage by rains has added
strongly Z an otherwise well founded
market. spot demand is not generally
bearish and il remains to he seen what
view will be taken of damage by rain
when sun begins TO shine again. ''-Af-
