New York, May 12.-There was
wild market in cotton yesterday with
prices covering range of dollar a
bale in this market from Saturdays
closing and $3.50 to 81 per bale in
New Orleans. Prices scared at the
commencement of business, going up
by leaps and bounds on trading 20 TO
% points here and 80 TO 40 points at
New Orleans, Liverpool markets
were almost equally excited, There
spot cotton advanced 10 points or an
equivalent to 81 bale in our tiuctu.
ations. Spot cotton here is held at
about Ills cents per pound and l0I
cents at New Orleans, against 9&
cents last year,
This has not been anything like the
equivalent of these high prices since
the last week in January, 1901, when
spot cotton in this market was forced
up to IL cents a pound, That was the
highest record for cotton since 1890,
when it sold in January in the market
at 12& per cent. and about Z pence a
pound at Liverpool, after prolonged
session of bull speculation.
Almost every broker was loaded
with buying orders when the market
opened and there was n great roar
when trade began. May sold as high
as 1920 in the afternoon. July, which
was 1929, started at a 10.40 bid and
was bid to 1850 Then the sales
transactions were on an enormous
scale, ranging from that price down to
1O.45, to 10.4$; then there was a freak
to 1O.4l. The August option which
closed at 9.97 started at 1920 and
1921 and was heavily traded in as
July, while the September option of

been planted and which closed at
