In response to advices received from London and New York the market opened 1/4 of a cent higher for all deliveries as compared with Thursday's closing quotations,
Throughout the session the market displayed a steady under- tone. A far demand for "actuals" was in evidence, whilst there was also good buying interest in futures for trade and speculative accounts.
Later in the session prices advanced by 1/8 cent on persistent further buying which consisted partly of shortcovering.
Closing tone was stendy.
It would appear that the better sentiment was caused by re- laration of the European political tensión as well as by a general expectation that the IR.R. Committee, at their next meeting on 14th inst., may decide on leaving the present permissible export quota unchanged for the second quarter of this year.

NEW YORK COTTON
A quiet market; with prices practically unchanged from the previous close at the opening. Later, there was some buying by "spot" house and trade price-fixing. These orders absorbed liquida- tion by commission houses. There was some moderate switching and hedging. Trading. on the whole, was somewhat restricted. owing to the continued absence of any clarification of the Washing- ton outlock.
