There was n moderate upturn IN cot
Ton Yesterday. accompanied by some i'm
prosement in uwlertone. although no par

the low level of Monday and the net

points.
Trade interests continue fair BUYERS.
Spinncrs are calling cotton and fixing
the prices OF their contracts by making
purchases. There is nothing remarkable
about this feature. American cotton
manufacturer are doing tho best blsi-
ness in their history. Many concerns
which since 1909 have had rather , din.
cult time OF 1t are now fairly revealing
IN prosperity. Even on medium weight
goods. in which labor represents a fair
proportion of the cost. the profits on raw
cotton run from $50 to $40 per bale on
oil the cotton manufactured. This is a
condition which might be said to be
absolutely without precedent. for all pre-
vious periods of profit and prosperity are
being surpassed.
Southern spot markets are holding up
very well. The hedged cotton has been
freely sold and the lower the contract
market went the more attractive the sale
OF such cotton would he, as the futures
showed big profits. On the other hand,
the present holders OF cotton are asking
very stsf prices. particularly in Texas.
