New York. June 15.-The cotton market
was demoralzed at the opening this morn
ing.
Liverpool started the day with an advance
of about s. bale in futures. while spot cot
ton sold on a basis of Ike for American
middling.
The sensational advance abroad threw the
local pit into the greatest excitement that
has existed at any time this season and
prices made new high records for every
option on the list. July sold at 12.35c, Aug.
at 12c. Sept. at 11.2Sc and Oct at 10. 45c.
The fall months that have never sold at
10c pound this season rushed through that
figure and on to 10Ac before there was
enough cotton forthcoming to satisfy the
demand and stem the advance
Prices have gone so high that many we're
afraid to buy. fearing general collapse at
any moment. and yet the punishment meas
ured out to bear sellers throughout the
season has been so severe that few dared
sell any cotton even at the sensational
figures.
Bear operators and react;onists nc vol,
as short sellers generally, have been beaten
to a standstill in all the markets and losses
have been very heavy. 1t has been the most
remarkable season on record. with the
weather playing all kinds of tricks since last
fall. as though in conspiracy to favor the
