NEW YORK. February 2.-The cot
ton market showed increasing activity
and strength today on covering and
trade buying accompanied by reiter-
ated reports of a good export demand
and a firm spot situation. Prices made
new high ground for the movement
with May selling up to 34.3S in the
late trading. which made an advance
Iof A points from the previous close
and a recovery of l2S points from
the low level of Monday morning.
May closed at 34.33 with the general
market closing firm at net advances
'of "a to 43 points.
The recognition of the Russian
government by England, was one of
the factors discussed on the advance
las likely to prove the forerunner of
ia renewed demand for cotton from
Russia and recent reports of Rus
sian buying in this country were
revived during the morning. Reports
of increasing mill curtailment in New
England. continued to reach the trade
here. but appeared to be offset by the
news from southern mill centers. The
latter included reports that some of
the mills Were working overtime with
