ally 6 to 10 points higher, the market was
firm and active. The selling of July seemed
to come chiefly from houses with Liverpool
connections. Otherwise there was little
pressure with scattered realizing sales
readily absorbed by a demand from COM
mission houses and spot interests, whil5
it seemed that some OF the phe-holiday SELL
ers were replacing their cotton. January
sold uD to 3O.10, March TO 29.O5 and May
TO $3.50 before the end of the first hour'
making net advances of As to % points. .,
Realizing enough was encountered around
3O.13c for January and 29.10c for March, OF
about "a to GA points above TUESDAY CLOS
ing prices, to cause reactions of 30 to 40
points from the best. There also was some
southern selling on the setback, but private
adyices claimed spot holders were asking the
highest basis of the season, and the market
firmed up again late in the morning, with
January selling around 3O.O4c and March
2S.SS. or 40 to 45 points net higher on cover
ing, trade and commission house buying.
Trading was less active during the early
afternoon and prices held around 2S.9O for
March, or about AZ points net higher.
Market closed steady, near months un-
points off.
