FIFTEEN CENTS OFFERED FOR
 GOOD GRADES.
Montgomery Far. CTS with Ware houses Full are Holding Product For Better Prices-Futures
 Based Or at Close.

There seems to be no limit to the on- ward and upward rush of the cotton mar kes.
 The market boomed again yesterday Spot cotton easily brought II 3-4 cents and for large lot of middling cotton. if there had been such q lot belonging to man who wanted to sell. could in all proDaDlll- ty have been disposed of at l5 cents; Grades better than middling were quoted at 10 cents.
 The recently unheard of quotations of 16 cents were posted on the cotton exchange boards. July options in the New Dr. leans market were quoted at that figure. The New Orleans market opened at l1 to 9 points above the closing figures or Saturday. The market later advanced to g to g points above the opening figures but before the closing hour the market eased off from 10 to 15 points.
 In the New York market, March. May and July sold at net gains Of 22 points. Liverpool showed a corresponding ad- vance. The steady upward tendency of the market created no special loca! excite, excite, ment. The advance was expected. Still higher prices are looked for
 There were no large sales of spot cotton reported. The men who own the cotton. which is piled high in every warehouse of the city, are able to hold it and they do not propose to sell at this juncture.
 There is still marked demand for cot ton, This demand comes from domestic spinners. The American spinners. North ern and Eastern especially, have not secured all the cotton they need and thelr need has stimulated in some degree, the present splendid market. The European spinners are said to have practically all the cotton needed.
 Meanwhile the farmers of Montgomery are showing their prosperity. They are improving their farms and plantations as they have not been improved since the war The houses are being repaired. new houses are being" built. fences are being put in better condition, new stock and new farming implements are being
 The farming year of 1904 has begun most auspiciously in Alabama. It begins with cotton at the highest figure since war prices. and 1t begins in the assurance that a good market awaits the cotton crop Of the Alabama planter In the fall of 1904.
