COTTON PRICES ON
WAY TO 25 CENTS
Highest Prices for Spot
Cotton in Nearly Half
a Century

New Orleans, October 23.-The new
week in cotton opened with the market
showing renewed strength as the re-
suit of general buying. which. 70 all APP
pearances. was chiefly stimulated by pre-
dictions from leading operators that the
price was on its way to % cents a pound.
Heavy buying was credited to proTni-
nent bullish traders, but the ring also
handled a large volume of outside buy
ing. At their best prices were almost
81 bale up and the close was firm at
a net rise of II to "A points. All months
made new high levels, July reaching
1926, the highest price ever written on
the local contract boards. Spot prices
were lifted a points to 1870 for middling,
the highest price in nearly half cen
fury.
The market opened at an advance In
sympathy with much higher cables than
due and stood 35 to 81 points up at the
end of the first half hour OF business.
Claims that mills were still booking
large orders for finished goods COM
bined with bullish price predictions and
private cablegrams from Liverpool re-
porting very strong market for Egyp-
tian cotton, widened the improvement to
about % points by noon. The highest
levels were reached late in the session
when the market stood n to 50 points

COTTON PRICES MAKE
SENSATIONAL RISE
Excited Buying Caused Adj
vance of Over $3.50 Per
Bale Over Saturday

New York, October "a renewal
of excited general buying caused an
other spectacular advance in the cot
ton market today with active months
selling $3.50 per bale or more above
the closing prices OF last Saturday.
January contracts, for instance. sold
up to 1920, or IA points above the
final price of last week and fully IS
per bale above the low level of last
Thursday. The market closed firm at
1916 for January and at a net gain
of So to ~ points on present crop
months while next September deliveries
were 10 points net higher.
The market opened firm at an adj
vance of rs to 80 points A lot of buy
ing orders seemed to have accumulated
around the ring over Sunday and the
bull movement was encouraged by the
strength of Liverpool accompanied by
reports of a 6-point advance in the
market for Egyptian. Realizing was
very heavy at the initial figures which
established new high records but re-
actions of 9 points were quick
ly followed by renewed firmness ow-
ing to a broadening of outside de-
mand, trade buying and aggressive
support from local sources
The interest of course, centered on
December and later present crop de-
liveries, but there was business for
delivery next September at Elsie or
IL points above the closing bid of
last week, while October sold up to
1880, or So points net higher
Bullish southern spot advices helped
the advance, but buyers seemed to be
particularly emphasizing the report
ed strength of the goods market and
q oil fhaf
still higher prices for raw material
owing to the high prices of goods Sat
urday's rumors of a falling off in
ginning returns also appeared to have
made considerable impression on SEN
timent, and part of the buying may
have reflected expectations of bullish
census figures on Wednesday

i. S. STEEL MAKES
NEW HIGH RECORD
Temporary Setback Counter
Balanced by Strength of
High-Grade Rails

New York, October Acknowledgements
over the weekend were deemed sufficient
ly favorable by the speculative element to
bring about further appreciate advances
in today's active market with new high
records for United States Steel and other
favorites which have contributed so ex-
tensively to the almost steady rise of the
last weeks.
Last Saturdays bank statement-which
showed a liberal expansion of local cash
holdings and a corresponding contraction
OF loans-the greater monetary ease re-
ported from principal reserve centers, ma
terial tonnage gains by leading railway
systems and undated demand for prod
ucts and commodities helped to accelerate
today's upward movement.
Steel's rise of 25s points to the new rec
ord of 121%, at which it passed the pre-
fered stock for the first time in the COM
pany's history, was again attended by an
enormous turnover, no less than $4,000
shares changing hands out of a total of
100000. Profit taking served to give Steel
and other leaders in the industrial dl-
vision moderate setback toward the
close, but this was counter balanced by
greater strength in high-grade rails.
Other new maximums included the
sugar group, notably Cuban-American at
23l and American Beet at 102ls, While
Cuba cane duplicated it's best record and
American Sugar rose points to l201a,
its highest price of recent years. Cen
trail Leather at 1914, American Hide and
Leather preferred at 1914 and Utah Copper
at 1902, comprised issues that were ele-
waited to unprecedented quotations. Beth
Iehem Steel attracted attention by its I'M
usual activity, about 1900 shares pelng
traded in up to $50, an advance OF 80
points. Coppers, particularly Anaconda
Utah and Inspiration, helped to swell the
huge total with Republic Iron and Steel,
Crucible Steel, Marines, Fertilizers ana
Petroleum. and Texas company gaining
more than 5 points.
Bonds were mainly steady on hghter
dealings. Total sales, par value, $o,2o0-
co., United States bonds were unchanged
on call.

CROP SHORTAGE
SENDS WHEAT UP
Startling Figures of Worlds
Wheat Supply Sent
Prices Soaring

Chicago, October 23.-Worid crop short
age estimated at % per cent as compared
with the yield in 1915 sent wheat prices
higher and higher today-as much at
times as sac bushel. The close was IN
settled at $1.74ss for December. 81 74sseD
Lag for May, with the market as a whole
showing gains of 1Ac to 49sc net Other
leading staples. too, all scored an advance
corn, 19sc to 2ssc oats, &c to PIC, and
provisions 15c 10 $1.10.
Wheat traders were confronted right
at the outset with the startling figures
in regard to the world shortage in sup
plies. In this connection, authorities were
quoted to show that the United States
had already sold to Europe as much
wheat as could be comfortably shared.
and that prospective dearth was be-
coming more apparent daily The meager
receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth today,
as well as at Winnipeg, seemed especial
ly significant, as to the scarcity of spring
wheat, the number of cars that arrived
being only one-fourth of the total on the
corresponding day last year. In conse-
quence, new high price records for the
season were made here as soon as trad
ing began, and despite temporary reac-
tons on profit taking were augmented
later especially when news was received
that increased Argentine drouth damage
had been reflected by a big rise in quota
tons at Buenos Ayres.
Attempts to force a setback from the
days top level in wheat prices were
vigorously pressed late in the session on
the ground that there had been advance
or more than 18c a bushel in the last
week, but buying orders around sta were
altogether too numerous to permit a
break below that value. In this respect.
the bull side of the market was helped
by the fact that the domestic visible sup
ply enlargement was only about half as
much as was the case a year ago. Trans
actions for the day were said to have
been more than double the usual volume.
Corn rose to the highest prices since
the Civil war, No. yellow for imme-
diate delivery touching $1.01 a bushel.
Trading in futures was on big scale with
shorts purchasing freely, influenced to a
considerable extent from bullish crop
news from Argentina. Oats, like corn and
wheat, were notably active at times.
Provisions advanced with grain to the
highest prices yet this season. Lard,
which apparently is in sharp demand for
Europe, took the lead in the general
upturn.
Future quotations were as follows:
