COTTON SCARS HIGHEST
SINCE THE CIVIL WAR

New York, Oct. 25.-Cotton in the
future market sold today above 20
cents a pound, the May option ris-
ing % points to 20.01, the highest
price it has touched since the civil
war.
The advance carried prices $3.50
BALE above the low level of last
Wednesday.
The strength in the late trading
yesterday seemed to attract many
overnight buying orders and the de-
mand was further stimulated by the
census report on ginning to October
1S. Few traders mad anticipated
that the outrun would amount to
less than 100000 bales, but the
official figures placing the total at
7,291,0O0 bales seemed to increase
confidence in bullish estimates of the
crop.

a few minutes prices were 80 to SO

Sensational Break
New Orleans, Oct. 25.-Just after
1:S0 p. m. with cotton prices stand
ing 13 to l 3 points above yesterdays
closing figures, there occurred one OF
the sharpest breaks noted in this
market in years. Within three min
utes the December option fell 73
points, trading from 1903 down to
1880. The only reason for the de-
cline appeared to be a bearish cir
cular from prominent market
writer who estimated the total crop
at IA 100000 bales.
