New York,’ Oct. 23.—The cotton mar ket seetns an airtight proposition inso for as heavy sales fail to make but slight impression upon quotations. Iteady de mand appears as each offer is made and to all indications people absorbing the sales are powerful. The floating supplv of contracts in this market lias dwindled to small proportions and built for the oc cassional appearance of one trader or another who is willing to. liquidate a more or less important line together with such hedge sales ns come into the market there is but little resistance to a continued perpendicular rise of quota tions so it seems. Frost over the entire northern portion of the hell strengthen ed bullish confidence and continued de mand in Liverpool lie lending foreign market at the higher range of prices was also encouraging especially in view of the announced increase of spinning by Manchester. It shows thut for one cause or another traders are willing to manifest their great confidence in ulti mately higher prices by continued ac cumulation of spot cotton and contracts despite the fact that spinners claim and probably experience a severe dispart it .v between cotton and cloth. It is certain that the quantity of supplies is an im movable fact until a new years comes around but he price level at which spin ners may dispose o their products • is movable and to all appearances the pub lic will be forced to pay the bill for higher cotton.
