NEW YORK, Nov 14.-Cotton advanced
fnto new high ground at the opening this
morning. There a good general de-
mand, with spot interests and important
commission houses the leaders. The, supply
came from southern interests, Liverpool
and Wall street.
At the start prices were up ten to twenty
1--WE points. Business was larger than in
many previous days The Government re-
port on the consumption in october showed
a larger total than had been looked for,
and this fact combined with killing frosts
in the southwest and the very favorable
Liverpool cables, was responsible Tor the
early strength.
Naturally the higher prices caused profit
taking after the call but, although the
offerings increased there was no let-up IN
the demand, and by the end of the first ft-
teen minutes prices had advanced two to
hve points further, May selling at 2O4c.
Apprehensions that the reported action
of the British Government in requistioning
all British steamer room for grain and
metals would restrict the export movement
of cotton, leading to an advance in rates and
a further widening of differences between
New York and Liverpool, probably accounted
for some early selling
A reaction of S to 10 points was fol-
lowed by renewed firmness toward the
middle of the morning March and later
deliveries made new high records after l |
o'clock with active months selling about
20 to 23 points net higher.
After the advance of about 90 to % points
from last nights closing figures, the mar
ket turned slightly easier after midday
