but th* talent at large refused to take the
talk of « squeeze at Now York In the De-
ceml*er option aa more thaw a manipulative
tip In a new guise for tbe reason the No
vember grade difference revision In tbe
Northern market can not be made to work
In tbe Interest of both factious at one nnd

tend to help the January sod March long
merest would attract cotton In time for
December delivery, while the other course
would run tangent to preconceived view*
concerning those position*, nnd quite Bitii-
rofly would eucouater opposition. \et the

while tbe foreign eottou merchant Is him-
self confirming the oft-repeated tnl«» thnt

he has not covered with forward commit
ments from the American exporter. Cl*.
Atlantic merchants are now enjoying a pret
ty good forward business and report tho
enforced payment of relatively high pre
miums for desirable rotton. In the west,
