April 11.—The Liverpool board show* large spot sales, total 14,000, at an advance of 6 points. Futures there advanced as much as 7 points on near posi tions. With regard to these spot sale*, it Should be remembered that In former year* spinner* carried their supplies Invisibly In their mills and warehouses aud when they took cotton we did not see It ao plainly.

If every time Liverpool baa the*# large sales there would couie to our trade a corresponding amount of orders for spot cotton the case would be dllTereut. Our market opened about 10 np ou buying on the good Liverpool and cold weather lu Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolina*, where night temperatures are rather low yet.

Commenting on the English spot strength, a local bear says: "1 can not see anything to bull cotton on.
