That the market was sensitive only to bullish Influence was nhown by the

NRW YORK, Oct. 24. Heavy overnight
Twitting- prevented the local cotton market
from making a full response to the sharp
advances recorded In Liverpool this morn
' bur,, but the opening tone was firm, with
prices s to 21 points net nlgher, December
Skewing- the largest gain.
Some of the operators who had purchased
at lower levels were the principal sellers
' en the call. A supply came from Liverpool
and.'eommlsslon houses also sold.
Southern Interests and Wall street were
the principal buyers. It was said around
the ring that the calling for larger margins
by some prominent commission houses was
responsible for the selling of some big lots.
, These houses are now asking their customers
to put up a margin of (10 per bale.
After the call December dropped about
T, points, but the other months showed
fains of 3 to points over the call, the de
mand Increasing after the early supply had
been taken up.
s Liquidation or realizing became more
general toward the middle of the morning.
At first the volume of fresh buying and
support from trade sources was sufficient
to "absorb offerings, but It gradually tap
ered and the market broko some 7 to 9
points below last night's closing figures
luring the middle of the morning.
In a general sort of way the action of
the market was similar to that which fol
lowed the advance to 18.78 for January
contracts during tho middle of last week.
That reaction was checked at 18.22 for
-January or' 56 points off from the best.
The market showed renewed strength
luring the early afternoon en a renewal
f bull support and covering. After the
execution of stop orders on the break to
,19.11 for January offerings had tapered
off, and, when the buying movement was
ronewed, there seemed to bo comparatively
Httle cotton for sate until March contracts
'had advanced to 19.50, or about 18 points
above last night's ctoslng figures.
The early afternoon market was nervous
and Inclined to be heavy at times, with
prices about twenty points under the top
f the forenoon, due to further realising
ahead-of ginning report
There were moderate rallies around mid-afternoon.
