SPOTS 22 POINTS UP As a Result Futures in American Markets Scored Sharp Advances. by tbe iuc uiaricct here this morning starts 7 to 18 points higher. Che feature abroad was heavy buying cred ited to Button & Co. This naturally lead to tbe conclusion that Button’s estimate would be low, tome figuring it under 11,500,- OOtL bales. Further strength dereloped after the call, and It was said that the leading outside op erator having covered his shorts was work ing for an upturn. The Liverpool market was again strong, and sharply better than due Thursday morning. The improvement was said to be duo to buying by Huston nnd tbe trade, on an estlmato thought to be 11,500,006 bales. Mr. Buston Is now in the Routh on bis annual tonr. The English market closed firm 15017 points higher. Rpots were advanced 16 points to <5.03 for middling. Sales continued ou a liberal scale, spinners taking 10.000 bales nt the advance. Tbe American markets were favorably af fected by the strength slwwu at Liverpool, assisted by a better feeling in tho spot mar ket generally. December In New York opened 14 points up at 10.58, sold up to 10.71 and at 12 o'clock was selling at 10.65. January opened 7 points higher at 10.18, sold up to 10.34 and at noon was selliug at 10.21. The sharp advance In prices during the morning induced realising, whlcfc, together with the putting out of fresh short lines, caused a break of 28 points on December and 25 for January from the high points, recovering slightly Just before the close, which was steady net 1 point lower to 3 points higher.

Tenders new docket 4,000 bales. Liverpool sends us sharp advances over our close. The Improving stock mar' terdny, together with the ease In cal rates, had as much as anything to l the rallies In cotton. This Improvement In the financial outlook caused some excellent Wall street buying and short covering the part of pit Interests. The raliriug tendency can not fall to eucourage Southern spot holders who have resisted all desire to liquidate on the weak markets lately. Many claim that the big forelgu demand will be shown In sharp advances. We are Inclined to favor purchases from now on, ns the outlook seeuis to have shown a de elded change over night. Think It well to take In shorts and go long at these levels. This advance, due to buying by Rchlll and Weld, caught the ring short. Private cable from Liverpool says: “Bus- ton’s buying caused strength.” Trading In December extremely difficult. Do not believe squeeze Is over. Hutton a heavy seller on call.

If the hanks would help there would he a good hiisluess. As It Is. money has to come from abroad to move cotton, ami that makes it a slow business.

Bnrhe & Co.: American *fal* higher in London. Rank of Enginud rnte raised 1 per cent to 5* per cent. The pro|s>rtIon of reserves of Imiik to linhllltlcs dropped from 47.20 to 39.90. This Is uceouuted for by large withdrawals for America, necessitating tuo advance of 1 per cent In rate. The rumor regarding Hunk of France requesting 5 per cent not credited. 'Ihe swift turn In the market yesterday was mainly on decline in call money rate* nnd accelerated by the proposed Umou Pa ri tic plan for boldiug company. Nothing definitely known ns to the putn list looked for todny. The liquidation that canto In the early trailing was easily taken ami shorts nre amazed nt strength in market. Liquidation by Mayor <fc Co. loans by ttust coin unities and banks today. Liquidation seems to hnvo liecu started again. Town Topics: We regard the improved tone In the market as almost entirely due to short covering. Smoe Investment buying Is going on nil tho time, to be sure, but It Is not reaching auch proportions ns to In- finance the market to any great extent. Besides, the banking Interests In present circumstances would be tbe first to disap prove of any nttcuipt to Initiate n bull movement, and consequently, while tho market may rally a trifle further, wc think It will be checked by wholesale offerings «*f nhM-k bought recently to prevent demorali zation. Resides, there Is still a great deal of liquidation that the market must face. The gold movement Is eminently satisfac tory, but the general flunnclal and Indus trial situations are not favorable. Lower dividends in tho case of Important railroads will also serve to chill bullish ardor, aud even the Union Pacific distribution will ac crue to the benefit of the ladders of convert ible bonds and preferred stock, as well as the common. We look for an early turn lu the market to the downward side again with especial pressure on the Industrial list. The copper inctal position Is decidedly weak, notulth- standing the movement phrortd. where It is found much easier to carry the metal than here. The steel nnd Iron trade the world over Is practically demoralized. Both cotton nud wheat will sell lower, in >p In Ion. nud should be sold on bulges. RAM RATE Stocks in the American De partment Showed Good Gains. NEW YORK IRREGULAR A Few ^Issues Show Ad vances—Others Lower. Trading Dull. I Xe York, Out. 31.—There were no ess*»n* tun changes In financial condition* this morning. The ndvauee lu the English bunk rate from 4* to 6* per cent had been a • generally ezpecteil that the announcement had no effect on either security or mono markets. In the accompanying statcm»iu of resources, the bank revealed the sevci.» strain which It has been tinder In meeting the American and continental demands. Its gold holdings fell off $15,000,099. Its loan i • count expanded over $25,000,000. and pro portion of reserve to liabilities declined from 47* to 391.Y16 per cent. It Is to renifm tiered, however, that this week's action takes account of the temporary shifting of credit supplied over the No vember settlements, nnd that this may n«- eouut In f.trgc part for the present ex tremely week showing.
