NEW HIGH RECORDS
 FOR COTTON PRICES
General List Closed at Net Advance of 59 to 63
 Points

New York, June 6.-The cotton market showed renewed strength today with all deliveries making new high records for the season. July contracts, for instance, sold up to 22.97 making an advance of no less than $5S5 per bale from the low level reached on the reaction of Monday morning. Realizing caused fluctuations later, but July closed at 22.95c with the general list closing irregular at a net advance of 59 to 6 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of p to 24 points in response to the strength of Liverpool over the local holiday. There was good deal of real izing at the start, but it was absorbed on moderate reactions, and active months worked about 50 to 56 points net higher during the middle of the morning Set backs of 10 or 15 points followed, with the tendency to take profits promoted by expectations that the weekly report of the weather bureau would make a favorable showing. There may also have been some selling for a reaction, but tions indicated an improvement as com pared with last week, it failed to bring out any increased offerings of conse- quence. This started covering or re- buying by some of the early sellers, while there was continued demand from trade sources and the market reached the highest point of the day dur ing the middle of the afternoon. October contracts sold up to 22.43c and December to 2252c, making a net advance of 65 to 72 points on the general list and an advance of 112 to 117 points from the low level of Monday morning. The demand seemed to taper off at this level and there were reactions of 20 points or so followed by buges which left the close within 2 points of the pest on July, while later deliveries were within 10 or 12 points of the top.
 Private cables said the strength in Liverpool was due to buying orders from Bombay, good reports from Manchester, trade buying and spinners' calling. Both foreign and domestic spinners were cred ited with buying in the local market, and the talk was that southern mills were buying contracts as protection against sales of goods for delivery ex- tending up to January. 1918. Recent Wall street and western buyers were believed to be taking profits on the advances, and the market was not as active as on previous advances.
