As thero is no cor responding Improvement In the volume of spot sales, this reaction looka rather artificial. The large professional long Interest in New York has never had a proper opportunity to liquidate, and Is still maneuvering the markets. Prom ised strong financial aid In London and Improvement In stocks may have help ed the optimism. Our market opened 7 to 9 up and was well sustained by straddle ouylng. The Increase yester.- day afternoon of the discount on lower grades makes a widening «»f market differences probable and augments the difficulties of delivering cotr»n on con tracts.

New York Commercial: That there Is to be an advance In many lines of bleached good*, half bleached and print cloth yarn construction fabrics within the next week or two was openly stated In the commission houses on Saturday. Few ticketed lines of the above-named goods arc available, and even for re mote delivery agents are heavily sold. The cautions which are given buyers are being heeded In some Instances, and orders at today’s prices are being paid by Jobbers and converters for their fall requirements. The position of the silk trade, so far ns manufacturers and selling agents are concerned. Is much better than before I11 four years. Lines for the summer are completely sold out at first hands and the fall ordering Is strong and well distributed. Among men’s wear agents it was declared on Saturday that the week's business had been quiet, with only n sprinkling of orders on fancy overcoatings coming In from the West. It is reported by agent handling cotton dress goods that fall lines of plaids, checks, worsted ef fects and cheviots arc selling to ex cellent advantage to the Jobbers.
