at 8 points advance. At 12:18 p. in., was
firm, net 8©9 points higher on near and
<%0*% higher on distant positions. Spots
In moderate demand, 10 higher: middling
uplanda 6d; sales 8,000; American 7.400; spec
ulation and export 800; Imports nil.
There has Iicimi a steady demand, but
hard to tell where It comes from. So far
It hat brought no outside bnsluess to apeak
of. I>oubt Tf the advuoce can lie sustained
unless constantly supported by the local
bulls.
Port receipts today estimated early at
13,000, against 21,903 last week, 18,912 last
year and 34.676 lu 1906.
The buying late yesterday started on pur*
phases from spot bouses. Then came eov-
erlng of shorts. Liverpool responds quickly
to our lend. We would follow up tue ad
vance with purchases. Think prices have
uow gotten out of a rut. If the week-end
figures show any falling off Maturday, think
the market will rule higher next week.
Following arc the 11 a. m. bids: May
9.86c; July 9.64c; October 9.90c; January

Schlll and Mitchell are buying July.
