New York Cotton Market
NEW YORK, Aug 15.-The cotton
market was advanced about 20 points
further today. due to strong Liverpool
cables and buying by the new and
strong bull clique and some covering
of shorts. There were a good many
unfavorable crop reE0rts received
from Alabama and Georgia and some
further reports of damage by army
worms in Alabama and Texas. New
England SpinnerS are credited with
buying freely of contracts both today
and yesterday and this class of buying
is expected to continue, especially on
any decline to around the lie level AT
this time last year curtailment was
ulOIV vi ICoo al tNtI SplilllIlSo
center throughout the world. Today
there is not an idle spindle to be found
anywhere and many mills are running
both night and day in order to make
prompt deliveries on goods sold
ahead on the largest margin of profit
for over five years. The recent de-
cline in values has probably discount
ed any possible bearish feature in the
September government report and no
matter what the condition figures may
be the bears will have to face a very
bullish document on September s in
the shape of the census report show
ing the amount of cotton ginned to
September |. Last year there were
III ,297 bales ginned to September i,
anl it is doubtful if over 300,0 900 bales
will be accounted for to that date this
year, as the crop is one of the latest
on record.
