 While some reason for today's advance weekly statistics and the good spot ja- mand, manipulation also played an import ant part in the rise to new high level Conservative opinion on the market is bear ishly inclined. as the advance has been toe ues to the higher basis of futures. a condi- tion which many think will soon be reflect actual cotton. While an advance in cotton is as a general rule benefit to this part of question whether an advance just at this period of the. year will best conserve the person knows that the planting season is now near at hand. Advices that have been received from the interior generally tnd.- cate that a large acreage is contemplated and there can be no doubt that the tendency to- plant a big acreage would be greatly at the present o noment Phe South has suf fereJ from such folly before. and many who have the real interests of this part of the country at heart think 1t strongly advisable to wait until after the planting season Is over before pulling the market to any great extent. Most of the recent advance has been caused by the covering of large short in public has not shown any great inclination to take hold as yet.
 The heavy professional buying of late has certainly added to the long interest in the market. and hence. the technical po- stion Is not as strong as 1t was while back. LOVEMAN & COMPANY.
