gave the first impetus to the market. These reports were an offset to a poor Liverpool.
 Later. however. Liverpool made up nearly all that was lacking and in- creased the spot sales 10 15.o00 bales.
 The market backed and filled sev- era1 times on profit taking and the day traders. who never go over night with cotton. took profits on the close.
 There are those who are afraid to buy the market at these prices. but I cannot as yet see anything unhealthy in the technical position. Whenever I think it has become so. I will advise caution. Prices have advanced with but small reactions and bulls have taken profits repeatedly on the way up.
 This condition Is vastly different | from a market honeyoombed with pyra- mids. Writing from what I know per- sonally. large profits are to the credits of bulls and on overtrading has been indnlged in
 Brokers. who usually act for the big Philadelphia spot houses. were leading buyers today and Liverpool was the 1 chief seller on straddles.

GREAT ACTIVITY
 IN COTTON MARKET

Birmingham, September 24--The day in the cotton market has been one of great activity and strength. As was mentioned in yesterdays letter it was probable soldout bulls would como back Into the market.

This set the ball rolling and prices climbed to new high levels for the year.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, September 24-(Special.)-Th market this morning advanced in the face of a poor Liverpool because of heavy rains in Texas. which brought many poor crop accounts to the market and which also brought buying orders from the southwest Liverpool was a heavy seller on arbitrage, but this demand. based upon adverse advices in regard to the crop, to- gether with further outside buying. car ried prices to the high of the season, Jan uary touching 12c. At this level there appeared to be more southern selling of hedges than heretofore and considera ble realizing by recent buyers. so that the market sold off on the close.
