at the same time I bombarded it heavily

by keeping us informed of tho disposi

We here print a recent report on this subject, taken from the Dry
Goods Economist :
"The cotton market scored another strong advance this week. Spot
cotton, which last week croesed the 8c line, rose to 8Jc in the New York
Exchange and parsed the 5d. li-vit in Liverpool, the market for futures
fully participating in the upward movement. The cause of the advance is
the heavy purchases of cotton abroad, where, as already stated in these
reports, spinners are behind in their supplies.
2Iow long these conditions will exist is, of course, uncertain, but is is
certain that the average under cotton will be vastly increased by the high
prices, and as time goes on this fuct will receive more and more attention,
with the natural result.
Trices range about as follows :
Spot cotton: New York, 8c; last week, 86c; Liverpool, 5 1 32d;
last week, 4 21-32J.
March futures: New York, 8.80c; last week, 7.8G Liverpool, 4 51 -64d
last week, 4 20 G4d.
The receipts for the first five days of this week were 142, 104 bales,
against 91, 035 bales for the corresponding period last week' The receipts
for the season amount to 4,055,741 bales, against 6,910,021 bales at the
same period last year. The vieible supply of 3.034,052 bales, against
5.081.559 hales for the corresponding period Inst week. Exports for the
first five days of the present week were 113,757 bales, against 9S.030 bales
for the corresponding period last year.
