WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Trading Active and Prices High CT, But Acreage is Being Watched-Trade Interest Are Among Leading Buyers.

New York, May l2-The cotton market has been extremely active during the past week, with prices making new high records for the movement on general and more or less excited buying Growing confidence in peace before another season is ended, and belief that there will be big rush to replenish exhausted sup plies abroad once the war is over, seemed to be largely responsible for the spread of bullish sentiment and the advance, which carried prices up to 1919 for July during Wednesdays trading. This reflected an advance of S.75 Ser bale from the low level reached on the break of last Febru- ary, and trading since then has been less active with fluctuations irregu- lar
 Reports of late start for the new crop and rather unfavorable prospects as a result of low temperatures at the beginning of the month, or of drouth conditions in some Eastern belt sec tions, as well as in the southern part of Texas doubtless contributed to the advance. On the other hand some of the reports published here have sug- gested that higher prices were lead ing to a larger increase in acreage than indicated by advices received last month. Trade interests have been among the leading buyers, and a be- lief was expressed that much of this demand has been for the purpose of hedging the forward business of mills and exporters
