While dealings In cotton were not largo
today the market showed pronounced
strength. Profit-sharing pales were ab
sorbed early. Spot houses, Wall street,
western Interests and local shorts wcro the
principal buyers. Sentiment was moro
bullish on favorable crop accounts and Im
proved prospects for exports.
A dispatch from New Orleans said that
30,000 bales from thes tock thoro would be
shipped to Liverpool, leaving barely C000
bales of tenderablo cotton In tho supply,
Reports wcro current that several buyers
wero seeking tho staple hero for shipment
abroad, finding It Impossible to obtain It In
tho south nnd to ship It to New York to
catch steamers.
Thcro was feeling in somo quarters that
largo spot firms must havo actual cotton
hero to protect interests In later months and
It would bo demanded on somo of tho
October contracts, now being purchased In
order to force shipments hero. Trade In
terests nlso wero credited with buying
hedges In October against sales to spinners.

of 8 to 14 points. Trading on tho call

port, but tho market at tho end of tho first

was easily maintained, with trado selling
limited. The strength In the freight situa
tion has developed a firmer tone to cost and
freights and prices wore 20 to 30 points
higher, but no Important business was re
ported In this department.
