PUBLIC ENTERED MARKET AGAIN
The Outsiders Arc Taking the BuII


New York, September A feature OF
the trading in cotton market today was
the re-entrance of the public into the
market on broad scale. the outsiders
taking the bull side. Bears were thrown
into a spasm of fright by an advance of
8 TO "A points in active options in the
Liverpool market, privately reported to
have resulted from hardening statistiOs,
fears among shorts that squeeze was to
be attempted and belief that the crop
out-turn would be small. Spot sales la
that market were che largest In many
weeks, reaching 5000 bales at an advance
OF I'D. Another factor was the contiu-
ued light movement at all points in the
South. Minor influences included unfagor-
able crop repots from the central belt
and reports that Southern spot markets
were l-Sal-2c higher. on the first c,ll
prices jumped up to 16 points with the
market irregular and excited. Still later
the advance was increased to a matter Of
be3I points by u squirt of general buying
led by room bears. Europe and the nun
lie also bought. Throughout the day New
Orleans shorts were heavy buyers In our
market. The bullish gyrations Of the Nav
Green's market added materially 10 the
hrmntss here. as did a decrease IN tho
Liverpool stock OF "a, 1000 bales. shown nv
recount The weekly government re-
port proved less pesslmistic than figured
uPon and led to quite scramble of prsit-
taking under which prices went of several
points. Fears OF bull move in Liver
pool tomorrow prevented an organized al
tack on rhe positions OF bulls and the mar
ket held arm TO the close, which wa,
steady at net rise Of sgi5 points.
