that the decrease in acreage in land de-
voted to the raising of cotton this year
is 1913 per cent, that the condition of the
crop is only 70.s. and that the indicated
yield is only g.s7O,000 bales. that only 70
per cent of the crop has been planted,
and that the crop Is later than the nor

The cotton market was again very
strong and higher today, another high
record being made on this move. Liver
pool was points higher for futures with
spots 8 points higher The advance in
Liverpool was about 4 points more than
was expected, according to our close of
yesterday. The local market opened 4
to 4 points higher; July selling at 500.
declined to 500. after which it advanced
TO SIT. The buying was considered good
throughout the session and there was a
big short line closed out around the
opening. The short interest in July Is
very heavy and is big factor in tho
recent advance. The weather conditions
continue very bad, rain being reported
from the larger part of the cotton belt
We looked for much higher prices so
long as the weather continues SO bad.
The port movement was estimated at
$4,000 bales. The spot markets are all
active and higher. The demand from
abroad Is very large for spot cotton.
