Cotton advanced about $5 a bale, -or ap proximately a cent a pound here today. v The heavy liquidation respon sible for last wee's decline of from $15 to $25 per bale, as com pared with recent high records, seemed to have left comparatively little selling power in the market and there were' rports that spot eotton had bconie harder to buy at the lower prices in the South.
