litical ambitions revolve around an
orbit where the light supernal is the

COTTON PRICES TAKE
A SHARP ADVANCE
Recent Declines Encouraged
Reactionary Sentiment
and Prices Go Up

New York, September PA somewhat
irregular and unsettled opening was fol-
lowed by very sharp advance in the
cotton market today. with January con-
tracts selling up from 16.Olc to 1890,
or "a points above last nights close,
and within IS points of the seasons high
records. Realizing caused reactions of
several points later. with January touch
ing 1910, while the general list closed
steady at a net advance of IA to l6 points.
The opening was barely steady at an
advance of 2 points to a decline of Z
points, and prices sold about TO points
under last nights final figures during
the early trading. Cables were relatively
steady, but yesterdays declines aid en-
couraged reactionary sentiment, while
the appearance of southern selling or
ders here tended to color reports that the
interior was willing to sell very freely
around the present level of values.
Houses with Liverpool connections and
trade interests were buyers on the de-
cline, however, and the market soon
steadied. Reports that spinners had buy
ing orders around the ring for execution
slightly under the market, and rumors
that a prominent Chicago authority was
about to issue a bullish crop report,
stimulated covering as prices worked
higher, and stop orders were uncovered
around midday. The consequent advance
carried october contracts UP to 16.05c.
December 1920, and March 1880, repre-
senting new high ground for the move
ment on most positions. The market
eased off later in the afternoon under
realizing and reports of increased south
ern hedge selling. Closing prices were
8 or 10 points off from the best. Wall
street. western and uptown interests
were crediting on buying on the adj
vance during the middle of the day, much
of the demand from these sources being
attributed to covering of shorts.
