ANOTHER BIG JUMP
IN COTTON VALUES
Good MiddIing in Local
Market Reached I2C.

Prices in the cotton contract mar
kept swept upward yesterday with
even more force than on the previous
day, net gains of more than a third of
cent being made in many positions.
More than half a cent has been add
ed to contract values in the past
two days. The Sully pool was more
in evidence and all doubts as to the
return Of the former plunger were
disSipated. Brokers working in the
interest of Mr. Price were reported
to be buying May at New York. Bears
who have been caught with the
goods have taken to the woods, their
only hope being a break which will
allow them to buy without too great
loss. Liverpool caught the step and
the three contract markets marched
forward In the early part of the
session in the American markets
prices weakened somewhat, said to
be due to selling on the part of the
bull pool, but the fact that no serious
results followed indicated how thor
oughly the bears have been frighten-
ed. The highest for the session was
reached in the afternoon, the close
being a few points off from the best
The New York market opened 10
to 26 points up and after some ir-
regularity moved toward higher
levels. The trading was active and
at times the advance was sharp
The close was steady, 35 to 81 points
above the final for Wednesday. Spot
prices were marked up rs points.
New Orleans opened 16 to 81
points higher, and after a brief re-
cession worked higher. The close
was steady 25 to 80 points above
the close for Wednesday. Spot quo
tatiOns were advanced 1-Sc
Liverpool opened firm to Is points
higher and closed steady, II to IT
points above the last figures for
Wednesday. Spot prices were adj
vanced II points, sales being 5000
bales.
In the Americas spot market bust
ness was brisk in the morning at
a substantial advance for the good
grades over the previous day, good
middling bringing II ga to IL cents.
About 200 bales were sold. The de-
than sufficient to absorb all offerings,
but the poorer grades were not. very
salable, and then only at the same
price which obtained Wednesday. Ear

cleaned up of desirable grades and
trading was supended The quota

EMERGENCY CLOTH
FOR UNIFORMS

WASHINGTON, D. c., jan 10
(Special Should war be imminent
and the organization of large army
necessary, there would be absolutely
no modern clothing available or even
in sight. 1t would take months to
weave enough cloth for 100000 men,
and with the rapidity with which
modern events usually develop such
time of preparation would be out of
the question"
So declares Gen. William G. Duy@ll,
of the General Staff of the armsa in
a communication sent to Congress
yesterday, in which he urges an ap-
preparation Of $10,O00,OO0 to create a
reserve supply of clothing for the
army
Congress is urged to appropriate
for the fiscal year $5,S35,126, che
amount asked for by the Secretary of
