During the sarly portion of the session Liverpool and continental houses were heavy buvers giving special atten tion to the nearer deliveries. reported to be for the covering of old short accounts. Commission-houses were ide ntined closely with the buying movement. asx were local shorts, Soulhern representatives had comparatively few orders, hut these for the most part were for purchase of Mav and August options The close was steady at a net rise of 4 to points, The dominating influences of the day were strong Knglish cables, small re ceipts at the interior towns and ports, ind bad weather news from the cotton region. Even the more confident bulls were surprised by the marked strength of the Liverpool market, and had not calculated on such rec elpts as official dispatches indicated. Futures in the Eng lish market had moved 4 to 5 points over our holiday. and spot cotton had ad vanced 5-52d., with a brisk trade iw pro gress at the better figures, Private cables attributed the improvement in that mar ket to heavy covering of Shorts on the American storm news and the failure of a prominent Liverpool spot cotton firm, which pretty much all the season had been persistently sticking to the bear side.
