March 20.-In face OJ ginning figures that were close ta expectations und pointod to a crop ol around 17.000,000 bales,, including lin ters, cotton today shewed such pro nounced strength that October ?qual led its previous high record and Jan uary made a new high level for the movement. The close was steady at a net ad\lince of 10 to 13 points. Liverpool came somewhat lower than due and was responsible for a partial opening decline here of 4 points. After casing off a point cr two further on near months, the local mar ket hardened. Advices from the south indicated that spot people appeared to be un concerned over the question of sup plies and the feeling here seemed to be that thc t>rospcctlvc material re ducVcn in acreage and uncertain, weather condition? would b? fif more vital concern to the market from now on than tho ,-dze of the past crop.
