Strength and animation marked the
cotton market yesterday. The opening
was firm, with prices showing over
night gains of II to so points. Buying
was general and it was said that Wall
Street interests were coming into the
market. At one time prices went off
about 20 points under realizing for Che
holiday over Sunday and Monday, but
the loss was soon made up, and the
closing showed net gains for the day
of Is to 70 points.
Unfavorable weather reports and ad-
vancing prices in the goods markets
lent strength to cotton. Feeling over
the Italian incident was more cheerful
in view of advices from Washington
that the situation at Paris was clear
ing up rapidly. Demand for spot cot
ton continues, and there were large
sales in the South. Traders are said
to be much impressed by the absorb
