NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Nov. 9.-The cotton
market showed renewed uncertainty
early today, with traders evidently
waiting for something definite in the
way of election returns. After a
sharp early advance, Liverpool eased
off and the opening here was TO 7
points lower, but prices soon steadied
on renewal of the buying inspired
by yesterdays bullish ginning figures
and bullish southern spot advices.
January sold up from 1885 to 19.47
and May from 1867 to 1877, or about
8 to 5 points net higher before the
end of the first hour.
After selling up to 1851 for Janu-
airy and 1890 for May, the market
reacted several points under realizing.
Trading was very quiet, but Wall
street buying became more active
around midday and prices firmed up
again with active months ruling about
6 to 8 points net higher SHORTLY after
IL o'clock.
The market became firmer and
more active early in the afternoon on
Wall street, western land local buying,
which seemed to be inspired by a
more optimistic view of the election
and bullish Southern spot advices.
January contracts sold up to 1912
and May to 20.01, or about 81 to 80
points net higher.

NEW ORLEANS c0TTnN-

New Orleans, Nov. 9.-The cotton
market was nervous and trading
small early today. Around the open
ing prices were to points off, but
little later the most active months
recovered this loss and went 8 points
over yesterdays close. In considera-
bic measure trading appeared to be
restricted by uncertainty over cleo
ton results.
Late IN the morning, buying wave
developed on the report that the
trend of election results was toward
Hughes. At noon prices were 10 to
% points over yesterdays close.
The market gained added strength
from the large export movement. At
1870 the trading months were at a
net rise of &c to SO points.
