New York. October There was great
excitement IN the cotton market today start

tiers and prices further advanced 1921
points. Factors In the forenoon we're very
strong. private cables mostly indicating an
increased inquiry from English spinners.
while accounts from American spinners were
also OF a more bullish character. The latter
have heretofore held of relying upon the
movement to break the market. They wero
discouraged today by better Indications in
the market for cotton Foods, while the
movement of the new crop does not promise
them the stock accommodations they depended
upon
The Southern spot holders wore reported
TO be hrmtng up pretty we'll aud overcoming
the weakening tendency they showed last
week. The market had a few setbacks
upon realizing but in the main had a stron <
upward tendency on a current belief that

Indications OF rains IN Texas where there
had already been too much moisture. added

courage OF the bulls. An enormous EXPORT
demand for cotton in the Southwest also
was stimulating factor in the market.
Room traders gave enthusiastic support.
The market closed firm at an advance OF
2oef27 points.

10 sell OFF some at any particular realizing

orly temporary. with the very strong bull
feeling all over the south among stockholders,
where prices are being raised and eo)i
deal of cotton not offered at all. The true
inwardness OF the strength OF cotton every
where is that the worlds spilners are with
out 1t. The South appreciates these con-
ditions and believes that the worlds spin
iet on an ascending scale OF prices. The
limit OF which rs not vet in sight.
