Cotton

Selling of cotton TO realize pronts
accruing on recent purchases for the
rise caused the market to react yes
terday. after an early advance to l7.43
for May, or about 20 points from
Thursdays closing price and s4.35 per
bale from the low level Of last Mon
day. AS soon as it became apparent
that long contracts were coming out
local selling for short account also de-
yeloped and prices eased off TO practi-
cally Thursdays final figures. Inc
close was at a net advance Of 10 III
points on a final furry Of covering b.
shorts.
The early advance resulted from re-
newal of the recent buying movement.
IL was encouraged by relatively steady
cables. The vague rumors that the
Teutonic nations contemplated another
peace move may also have been a
factor.
A good many bullish arguments were
heard during the day. based on the sta
tistical position. Several compilations
of figures have been published recently
indicating a small carry-over at the
end of this season should the present
rate of distribution be maintained.
The attitude of Southern spot holders
during the progress OF the recent break
from 1908 to 1856 for May contracts
has also made a considerable impress
sion on sentiment.
These features, however. pertaining
TO the old crop situation are much the
same as those discussed on the advance
earlier in the season, and the action
OF the market suggests an absence OF
general speculative interest. Many
traders. in fact. feel that they could
form only tentative views Of the mar
ket pending the development of new
crop prospects. Certain preliminary
drawbacks are recognized in this con-
nection, while reports as TO prospective
acreage are more or less conflicting.
Still the popular expectation is of IN
creased area. owing to the high prices
prevailing this season. Exports for
the week were 1928 bales, against
75.242 for the corresponding week last
wear. The visible supply of American
cotton showed a decrease Of SO,6l9
bales. compared with "A decrease Of %,
