SENSATIONAL RISE
 OF COTTON PRICES
Market Closed Steady at Net Gain of 101 to 106
 Points

New York, June 22-There was a sensa- tlonal advance in the cotton market to- day with October selling up to 26. 23c or 1eO points above last nights close 1Sa points above the low level of Wednes- day morning, ana pack to within 37 points of Tuesdays high records. Trad ing was not active and thee was no ap- parent excitement, but buyers evidently found few contracts for sale, and the ad- vance was almost fully maintained with the close steady at a net gain of 101 to 1oG points
 The market was irregular during the early trading. After opening steady at decline of points to an advance of 9 points, active months sold to 2S points net higher, but there was scattering liqui- dation and reaction of several points iol- lowed. Offerings were not heavy and the market quickly firmed up on reports that replies to a prominent southern crop reporting bureau pointed to a con- dition slightly below the official figures for May 25. There were also scattering reports that the southwest crop was suffering from drouth which increased anxiety as to the outlook. There were no big buying orders around the ring, but the scattering demand for small lots be- came more general and the best prices of the day were reached in the late trading when July sold at 26. 39c and De- cember at 26. 3Sc, or 101 to 10S points net higher. Private cables from Liverpool said it was hoped the market there might be reopened for a restr1ctsd vol ume of business next week. A further demand was reported for ocean freight room to Liverpool at the rate of $5 per 100 paid yesterday. A private estimate placing this years acreage at 39, ,6S3 GOO against o,4S7000 last year, seemed to at tract little attention.

New Orleans Spot Cotton

New Orleans, June 22.-Cotton ad- vanced sharply today standing at the highest, 9SSto 10S points over yesterday s close and tlosing strong at a net rise of S7 to 106 points. The advance was based on the efforts of shorts to cover, the continued drouth in Texas, bullish crop accounts generally, a private bureau re- port indicating an even lower percen- tage of condition than was returned by the government a month ago, and signs of revival of the spot demad.
 A feature of the session was the al- most constant talk of restricted trading in the New York market, which had the effect of frightening already nervous shorts In the early session the mar ket diplayed no great strength and on the opening call near months were at a net decline of to points, but the market frmed up gradually, reaching

Avery's Letter

This bull crowd seems to have been born under lucky star. Whenever things commence to look shaky, some thing always turns up to favor them. Today it was rumor that the National Glnners would show condition between 6S and 69 and an acreage decrease of between 5 and 6 per cent.
 This in itself was enough to put prices up a cent pound, and if it should be confirmed, it looks like 30 cents sure be- fore any downturn. It appears that the recent 200 point break cleaned out most of the weak longs and that the old orig inals are still in the saddle and nothing but 30 cents will satisfy them
 There seems to be no use bucking 1t, and one better get, aboard the band wagon and ride. if you can pay the fare. c. F. AVERY.

 New Orleans, June 22.-(Special.) )-Re- newed strength was apparent in the cot ton market today, coming from the in creasing bullishness of crop accounts, es- pecially from Texas, and the growing dis position to look for little or no improve ment in the June condition figures com pared with month ago. The talk of restrictions around trading in the New York market also served to work for higher levels. Nervousness is increasing among shorts as the first notice day for July, next Tuesday, approaches.
 Around the opening the near months were to points down. but this decline was quickly replaced by an advance which was gradually widened to 90 to 1O8 points. The market continues to advance as easily as ever, while the supply of contracts is slender and readily ab- sorbed
 buying futures and looking up the con. tracts as protection against their needs in the way of raw material. This would explain the refusal of the market to en- ter upon reactions in proportion to the advances which have been made. The close was S7 to 100 points up net It is difficult situation whichever way it is looked at. We do not believe in short sales. but we would remind our friends on the long side that profits se- cured cannot be taken away from them
 The market later bulged to a net gain of 90 to 10S points, closing strong at an advance of S7 to 106 points.

Market Makes Recovery From General Reaction

New York, June 22.-Recoveries from the general reaction of the early week made further progress today, although trading was of tentative character and more circumscribed as to the variety of issues dealt in.

 The monetary situation continued a re- sualning' Influence, call loans, which hold over the week, being made for the most part, at or with a fraction of t per cent. Time money was in scant sup ply, local institutions making few offer ings.
