COTTON JUMPS UP
WAVE OF EXCITEMENT ON THE NEW
 YORK EXCHANGE.
High Mark is Reached and There Is Q Hu mor That Patten Ia Buying
 SOuth's Product.

New York. Sept. 23I-A fresh wave of bullish excitement fairly carried away the cotton market today with every delivery on the list making new high records for the season and with prices scoring an advance from yesterdays close of 5Ugs5 points. or over s1.S0 per bale.
 Business was the most active In general so far this season and heavy buying by western houses. particularly in view of the dull wheat market, caused re 'prts that MT. Patten, the big Chicago Sop or was . d. vising his friends to tranfer .neir interests from wheat to cotton.
 Southern and local bulls were also big buyers and bullish enthusiasm based upon reports of material damage to the crops as census statement of last years American consumption, was further encouraged by reports that manufacturers had become and left for future delivery.
 December cotton here sold up to 1s.34 and May to 13.42 during the early after noon. these prices showing an advance of about 1A cent a pound from the low level of last week.
 The prices of approximately 13Ac reach cotton at this season of the year, when the South has still practically the entire crop 70 market. since the civil war. and even last years yield of Ia. soO.OoO bales as the bull leaders anticipate and amounts to only lo;59oooo bales at the present es Gno no priee it largest amount ever realized for . single crop in the history of the trade.
 One of the results of the increasing act ivity of the market and predictions of a big bull year has been Q sharp advance in the price of cotton exchange membership. From s23. 900. the high record of 1905. the value of seats declined until sale at s7.7o0 was reported during March. 1908. Early In the present week a sale at S16.so0 occurred. and today the 1909 record was established by a sale of SEQ. .00o.
 A slight reaction was the result of real king on the high prices before the close. owing to sensational buying from all di- rections. which reflected. it was claimed. thu most widespreaGs bullish sentiment in the history of the trade December sold at IS. 42 and May at 1s.51. 4l to AZ points nsr higher.
