WEEKLY REVIEW
 0F COTTON MARKET
Active Demand For Cotton Goods Stimulated Buy
 ing at Advance

New York, April 5.-The cotton market had an active and excited week. The nervousness which had been evident in connection with international affairs on the declines toward the end of March was followed by an outburst of bullish enthusiasm, once uncertainty. had been
 eliminated by the Presidents address to
 Congress- Rapid advances encountered heavy realizing in advace of the ad- journment for over Easter, but buying today was further stimulated by renew al of heavy rains in the eastern belt and bullish spot advices. Mag contracts which had sold as low as 1S.72c at the opening on Monday, touched 20.32c during today's trading-the highest price reached since that particular delivery broke to 12.50c on February 1, when the German submarine announcement was published. New crop deliveries were rather slow in following the near month advances during the ear Her part of the week, owing to two or three days of more favorable weather, but today's rain news brought in a broadening demand with October selling at 1S.79c, more than $6 per bale above the recent low level Reports of more active demand for cotton goods have stimulated buying on the advance, while the strength of the old crop months has reflected the alarm of shorts over further shipments from the local stock and the increased demand for spots in the south. Southern spot firms have been among the buyers of May, supposedly covering hedges against the largesr spot business and there has also been transferring of both trade and speculative shorts from old to new crop deliveries owing to the small amount of cotton now available here for delivery on contract. Profit talk ing was prompted by the advance to the 2O-cent level which was the price most talked of by holders on the recent de- cline and some hedge selling of both May and July has been reported. At the end of the week. however, some buyers were talking much higher cotton before the end of the summer owing to delayed crop prepara tions, expectations that govern ment purchases would cause a boom in goods, and a hope that this county's en- trance into the war would hasten peace. Bullish arguments have also included pre- dictons that United States naval activi- ties would lead to an improvement in ocean shipping with the hope of larger exports also prompted by an easier ruling in ocean freight rates.
