COTTON MARKET
ACTIVE AND EXCITED

NEW YORK. May 1S.-Today's cotton
market was very active and. at times,
excited. Trading was on a very heavy
scale, with volume Of business 300, 600 to
10000 bales. which is an unusually large
volume for Saturday half-holiday ses-
sion.
After starting unchanged to three points
higher. the market rushed up fifteen to
twenty-five points before the end of the
first half hour on this wave Of buying,
in which brokers acting for Wall Street,
Chicago. and Southern houses were most
prominent Some Of the big spectators
in Chicago. who have made fortunes in
the wheat market lately, are said to be
getting out of their wheat and going
into cotton, and Wall Street spectators
are dong the same thing This has
been taking the cotton market away
