while later months were unchanged to
five points lower.
The census report showed domestic
mill consumption of 556,721 bales for
January, compared with 472 gil for
December and 523,947 bales for Jam
uary OF last year. Owing to numer-
GUS reports of e,trtailment it had
been anticipated that the report
would make bearish showing, and
the actual figures served to stimulate
covering and probably some fresh
buying on the opening advance The
continued firmness of Liverpool was
also a factor, while houses with Eng
fish connections were good buyers
during the early trading.
There was very little Southern SELL
ing, but. offerings became little
more active late in the afternoon
owing to the failure Of demand to
broaden after the early advance. The

WEEKLY STATEMENT.

New York, Feb. 14.-After selling
off to 1880 for May deliveries on Man
day, the cotton market turned firmer
on reports of improving labor condi-
tions in domestic mill centers, re-
newed talk of increasing exports prob
abilities, the appearance of a moder-
ate demand from Liverpool and contln-
entail trade interests, and covering by
recent seller. The buying was stimu-
lated later by unexpected large do
mestic consumption figures for jan
uary and May contracts sold today at
l21.85.
There were rumors early in the week
that the French government had mo-
dified restrictions on the cotton trade
to permit private firms to import
100, 700 bales of cotton month for
five months, beginning with May.
These rumors were not confirmed, but
they were followed by buying of May
contracts here by people with French
connections.
Spanish and Italian interests were
also mentioned in connection with
some scattered trade buying of new
crop deliveries and there was con-
siderable demand from Liverpool.
Southern selling continued during
the early stages of the, advance, but
was less in evidence during today's
trading and discounts on the low
grades have shown further increase,
This has led to a corresponding wident

and low grades as applied to deliv-
