opened firm points down to points up, with
demand active and large. The opening showed
the lowest of the session There first
class buying from the start. and the market
moved sharply some % points. New Orleans
led market. The chief news the re-
port from the South that spot holders were
offering very little cotton higher prices, with
the actual demand for both high and low grades
There is growing disposition among crop esti-
matters to lower their figures. Trade conditions
everywhere are felt and prices are at about the
highest points of the The feeling here
is growing 5 bullsh just that 1t keeps
short sellers nervous, and there are few short
sales being made these advances.
The influence in favor of the market consist
ed OF very. strong spot situation. with buyers
reported scrambling for both low and high
grades. Buying was of good character for ac-
count of the firms which have spot connections.
There was tendency to fight the rise in the
market. but prices had an advancing tendency.
The Journal of Commerce says; The market
seems TO want to advance. a strong crowd
of professionals have objections The result is
that there is every promise of a very exciting
market again this week. The future condition
fails to reflect the spot situation and the situa-
tion that confronts the spot market is strained
and peculiar one. Reports from the belt tell
of the buyers receiving instructions to take
their limits of, and there is a football rush
far every bale of good cotton that shows up.
Some people insist that there cannot be such
q very large crop when buyers having such
hard work to get their cotton. while others
believe that there is plenty of cotton.
