an advance of to 6 points and show
ed net gains of to s points in early
trading on a furry Of covering and
buying, which appeared to be based
on the continued firmness of Liver
pool and the passage of the farm bill
by the House yesterday. There was
considerable realizing. however, which
held the advance in check around 14.15

Private cables reported trade call

buying in the Liverpool market, and
substantial sales Of cotton cloths for

March longs evidently transferring
their commitments to May OF July in
preparation for March notices ex-
