New Orleans, Jan. 8. —Holiday.
New York, Jan. B.—Riordan & Cos. say
of cotton to-day: "The bears, until to
day, have been sneering at the lighter re
ceipts, but when they saw the Senate fig
ures of the ports and interior movements
to-day they ceased to sneer. Liverpool
this morning gave us an advance
and our market in the forenoon was only a
few points higher. But about noon advices
from Texas indicated a smaller yield in
that state than had been expected and
foretold approaching exhaustion at all in
terior points. This was followed by heavy
buying for New Orleans account and prices
shot upward. March, which opened at
7.08 c, advanced to 7.19 c, dosing firm at
7.18 c bid. Our friends must be prepared
for the temporary setbacks at any time,
but we are now satisfied that the general
teudenev of the market will be upward."
New York, Jan. B.—The Sun says of cot
ton: “The speculation to-day was more
active and prices advanced quite sharp
ly. The Liverpool news was better than
had been expected, and caused a higher
opening here. Shorts covered, there was
a good demand here for New
Orleans account, and there was
also new buying by local oper
ators, while the sentiment was more bull
ish than for some time past. Prices ad
vanced steadily, and closed at the best
prices of the day. The indications pointed
to lighter receipts at the Interior than
had been expected, and the statement by
Secretary Hester of New Orleans that the
Texas movement from Sept. 1 to January
was 675,000 bales, against 1,369,000 in the
same time last season, induced some buy
ing Manchester advices wore favoraole,
and the monthly report of exports of
yarns and cloths from the United King
dom made a bullish exhibit."
