Cotton

The government report on the cotton
crop issued at IL o'clock yesterday
morning proved to be even more radl-
cally pessimistic than the most bulilsh
traders had expected. As a result,
prices bounded upward from 70 to 81
points and reached the highest prices
recorded since the big deal OF the New
Orleans Chicago-W Street clique
ended about six years ago. OCTOBER
went from 1853 to 1888, December
from 1916 TO 1910, January from 1858
to 1912, March from 1882 to l6.5S,
May from 1899 to 1870 and July from
1901 TO 1915. As was to be expected,
big professional traders sold heavily
at those prices, causing partial set
back. but closing prices are about 90
points higher than they were on We'd
nesday. The report made the crop con-
ditions only 6l.2, or at least points
below general expectations. II showed
a loss during the month OF roughly IL
points; for two months Of about ~
points and is S points lower than at
this time last year. The yield per
acre is placed at only 1883 pounds,
!, against 1884 pounds in July, 1915
pounds in June and 1903 pounds a
gested Of only 1l,800,0o0 bales, eX-
promise for 12,9l6.000 bales in July,
l4.2C6.OO0 bales in June and last years
crop of 11,1s3,00O bales. 1t certainly
makes a decidedly poor showing when
contrasted with the crop of over 49,
100000 bales in 1915 and Of over IA
100000 bales in 1914. AS the esti-
mated requirements of American cot
ton for the year are fully 100000
bales. it was small wonder that buy
ing orders came like an avalanche from
ali sides. Buyers included short sell
ers. sold-out holders who believed
that earlier prices discounted con-
dltion of Ga per cent; Wall Street;
spinning interests and the South
Prior TO the issuance Of the report
trading had been slow and the market
somewhat nervous because of uncer-
tainties as TO the railroad situation
and the impending report. In the main,
however, the early feeling was some
what heavy, partly because of the
weakness in Liverpool, which closed
with prices s to IL points lower, and
partly because the Weather Bureau
report showed good showers over
night at many Texas points, the heav-
lest being IA inches at Greenville.

consequence prices advanced sharply
in the afternoon, and az the end showed

During the morning claims and denials
OF a strike came thick and fast. and
the perplexity Of traders was indicated
by the strikingly nervous action Of
prices. The first move was a fair ad-

upturn, with exporters, short sellers
and big trade interests competing for
the offerings, which were small, as
