New York, June 1O-Prices of stocks
moved upwards, today. rather more de-

breadth and strength of the movement
was effective in driving in some shorts
who have not been impressed with the
smaller movements and their buying to
cover was factor in extending the ad-
vance. The weakness of the cotton mar
Ket was sustaining influence in stocks.

New York. April 30.-The range of
prices throughout the week has been
within the narrow compass of less than
half a cent. Weather developments
have not been favorable, and as a re-
suit of there has been a relative
steadying of the August position, ow-
ing to the fact that early receipts do
not promise to be as large as first be-
lieved.
Rains, followed by cold spells have
been the rule, and except in favored
sections in the extreme southern por
tions, stands are not good while
planting is still quite backward in the
northern half of the belt. 1t will be
pointed out that in 1898 an acreage
a trihe under 100000, a crop of H.
100000 bales was made and was sue
cessfully gathered in spite of an ex-
ceptionally wet picking season. The
present acreage is popularity expected
to be in the neighborhood of 100000
acres. Liverpool injected a little life
into the market by a sudden jump in
the spot sales there to 10000 bales,
and there were Immediately numerous
cables giving glowing accounts of the
business which Manchester is doing
with the Far East. The season Is now
at hand when we may expect a steady
succession of warm days and nights.
Under these circumstances it will be
difficult to sustain any bullish enthusi-
aSm.

can during the week were $4,000,
against 100000 last year and their to-
tai takings from Sept. 1 to date have
been 8,2O6,OO0 against 8,SOO,000 last year,
or $4,000 less, indicating a consump-
ton of 1926, 900 for the season. The
face of the takings. the movement on
it's face, points to a crop of 10,2l0,OOO
bales.
This proves conclusively that spin
ners have generally resorted to short
time, and if they continue to pursue
such a policy there will be a sufficiency
to meet all requirements, even If the
out-turn is only 10000, 0O0 especially
when it is remembered that 1872, 900
was carried over from last year in
the visible and invisible supply OF
American.
