so small and trade conditions becoming so
much better from day to day. 1t is eX-
pected that by September 10 every mill now
closed in this country will be running
again on full time At any rate the agree
ment to start the wheels in motion is 1lXeo
for the 10th instant. A cable from Liver
pool today states that Mancheser wired
that organized short time is not llkely,
that spinners are thought to be very bare
of cotton and that they must continue puy-
ing something. Liverpool was considered
good today, closing at l to 2 siXty-fourths
higher than yesterday for contracts ana
unchanged on spots, sales 5000 bales. New
York was somewhat against the improve
ment and opened about points down,
course which we pursued to the extent OF
points. December here opened at $50, sold
down to 500, back again to S37 but receded
on realizing on weekly crop statement
that was no worse than expected. Spots
in the interior are dearer by 1-16 to sc,
and in this market 1-16 higher with sales
including $50 to arrive, 2,s00 bales with
nddling at GIG.

of to Is Points
SPOT SALES WERE LARGE

New York, September A feature of
the trading in the cotton market today
was the re-entrance of the public into the
market on a broad scale, the outsiders
taking the bull side Bears were thrown
into spasm of fright by an advance of
6 to ID points in active options in the Liv-
erpool market, privately reported to have
resulted from hardening statistics, fears
among shorts that squeeze was to be
attempted and belief that the crop out
turn would be small. Spot sales in that
market were the largest in many weeks,
reaching 5000 bales at an advance OF hd.
Another factor was the continued light
movement at all points in the South.
Minor influences included unfavorable
crop reports from the central belt and re-
ports that Southern spot markets were
%@1sc higher. On the first call prices
jumped up to 16 points, with the market
irregular and excited. Still later the ad-
vance was increased to a matter of 5 to
z points by squirt of general buying, led
by room bears. Europe and the public also
bought. Throughout the day New Orleans
shorts were heavy buyers in our market.
The bullish gyrations of the New Orleans
market added materially to the firmness
here, as did decrease in the Liverpool
stock of $4,000 bales, showing by "a re-
count.
The weekly government report proved
less pessimistic than figured upon and led
to quite scramble of profit-taking under
which prices went off several points Fears
OF another bull movement in Liverpool to-
morrow prevented an organized attack
upon the position of bulls. however, and
the market held firm to the close, which
was steady at net rise of to Is points
