short time represent record-breaking
market movements.
Cause of the Rise.
The principal bullish influences, aside
from the great change In the weather
conditions giving the new crop such
an unfavorable start, compared with
the very promising outlook which had
prevailed up TO three weeks ago. are
the strong statistical position Of the
staple, as compared with last year the
flight splnners' stocks among manufac-
turers throughout New England and
in the North generally, and the indica-
lions OF q revival in general business.
Then, again, the stocks of cotton here
| of contract grade are only $4,000 bales,
against l4l 900 bales last year, and q
powerful comblnat>~n OF the principal
ePp' aealers ana larSest market IN
terests here appear to have secured
| control of this cotton. Where sentl-
ment was running all one way on the
bad trade conditions and the good out
look which then existed for good
start for the new crop, sentiment has
now apparently swung around to The
bun side TO such nm extent there Is the
probability OF a continuance OF actIv,
fadlns and sharp fluctuations In
