New York. May 22.--During the past
week the cotton market has been
steady. and prices advanced 25 to 30
points since Monday. THIS advance Is
due In some measure to the fact that
the selling so prominent the previous
week disappeared. and also because of
the hrn1ness displayed by holders OF
actual cotton This has attracted out
side buying orders.
There has been nothing new in the
