Brunswsck is destined to becomes ship

EXPECTED NEXT IEBL
New York, Jan. 5.-The ootton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of
from 4to 10 points and immediately
beoame very firm on a stampede of tbe
bear forces for cocr and the Influx of
baying orders from the aouth, west
Wall street, and Europe. Sellers were
ecarcc and the whole fibre of tbe mar
ket. seemed to have swung around to a
solid bull affair. Tbe farther remark
able rise of atoaks in Wall street helped
in ao indirect way to enthuse the bull
contingent. Tbe primary influence of
bullish significance was a rise of 4) to
5 point* in futures and 1 1-10 in spots
in Liverpool, or deoidely more than
expected. Supplementary factors of
support were reports from the aonth
that exporters and northern spinnars
were paying 1 Sc higher prioee for
desirable grades of spot cotton; that
the movement on this side showed
shrinkage, and that 100. cotton gener
ally in the bolt was looked for next
wpk.
