The higher price OF cotton In the South,
Mr.. Vanderlip explained, had stimulat-
ed an early movement or the crop ana
the high price had called for larger
amounts OF small notes than last year
Chicago and the West generally had
thought that the call for small notes
from that section would be less urgent

together with the calls from the West
