COTTON HIGHER ON
I ACREAGE REPORTS
Unusual Agreement on Esti.
y mates Pointing to a Small
Increase.
MILL WAGES ADVANCED

There was a fairly active market in
utton yesterday, with a good undertone.
suying was In sufficient volume to ad-
vance prices about 8 to 9 points. The
feature OF the news was the further
confirmation Of a moderate increase in
creaGe with ideas ranging from less
than s per cent. increase to about 2
,er cent. This was more or less of n
surprise to the trade. as 1t was expected.
on account Of the profitable prices Of
cotton as we'll as the high level at which
cotton seed had been selling. that the
~ &c would be largely increased.
The Journal Of Commerce In its pre-
liminary report published yesterday
morning placed the acreage at an increase
4 SO per cent. The Journal also con-
(fmed recent reports OF a reduction in
he use OF fertilizers and estimated the
decrease al 20 per cent. The season was
reported to be about a week late but the
soil IL well prepared. Complaints OF
slow termination of seed are being re-
csaved as a result of low temperatures.
Notwithstanding the practical unan-
unity Of reports OF such small increases
In acreage, there is a feeling that the
sua tendency on the part OF the south
to underestimate its acreage and to lay
stress on poor crop advices Is receiving
unusual Indulgence this season. Prob
ably no one ever will be able to obtain
an approximate idea OF the acreage this
season on account OF this state Of AFFAIRS,
but with a favorable season present
ideas regarding planted area would
undergo some change. as II would he
unthinkable that "A big crop could be
4 produced on a small acreage and a re-
duction in the use of fertilizers.
! Textile advices continue to show great
prosperity throughout the New England
\ and Southern mill sections. Wages have
been increased throughout the Provi-
] dence and Fall River districts and 1t is
hoped that some of the mill employees
who have gone into other occupations
! will he tempted back as II result ~ the
present unprecedented scale of wages.
