Suns cotton report: Cotton reacted
slightly at one time. but rallied. and
advanced, closing firm at net rise or
10 TO II points, with sales OF lb,No bales.
To-day's features: Large Liverpool spot
sales, moderate receipts, higher consos,
and covering OF shorts caused a rise.
The reserve stocks OF cotton In this codn-
try are so low that the weather reports
this spring are likely TO have more m
fuence on the market than ordinarily.
The crop Is believed 10 be somewhere
from $4,000 to 100000 bales. High prices
and predictions Of big acreage during
the coming season fail TO bring out the
cotton. and the bulls think the logical
inference is that the cotton IS not there
10 be brought out
There is an excellent demand for ey-
port at New York, and i'm the near future
the export business here is likely TO reach
an even larger volume. for the New York
market is the cheapest in this country.
4 rumOr was circulated at one time to-
day that an anti-option bill had been IN
trOduced I'm the United States Senate, but
the truth is that Senator Nelson, Of Min
nesota, simply refused 10 Introduce such
a bill at the request OF one OF his con-
stituents.
Prices are high. and this fact silences
even the cranks.
