PRICE OF COTTON ADVANCED
PRACTICALLY So A BALE
Prediction of 0-Cent Cotton Before
End of the Season.

New York, Oct. 25.-With an ad-
vance of practically s3 bale in the
price of cotton today, seldom if ever
has the trade, accustomed as it be-
came to rapid fluctuations during the
bull campaign of last season expert
enced such an abrupt transition from
weakness TO strength display by the
staple. The sudden climax followed
the publication of the census bureau
report showing the amount of cotton
ginned to October Is was practically
six hundred thousand bales short of
the six million mark which had been
estimated by many traders. The re-
port was made public before the mar
ket opened and the first quotation
showed an advance over Mondays
close. Throughout the day prices
worked higher until the close The
highest point of the day was encour-
aged by reports that the revival of
small crop estimates had stiffened the
backbone of wavering southern hold
ers and stimulated the demand from
mills.
Predictions of twenty cents before
the end of the season were frequently
heard in local trade circles and the
market in short reflected a complete
revival of the bullish enthusiasm no.
ted on the advance of the earlier sea-
son.
