SHEPARD AND GLUCK's COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, La, April New high
record levels were made by cotton today in an
advance which set in the first call and
stronger than ever in the early afternoon.
The inquiry was only moderate at first, but
later in the day became urgent, apparently
as the report of heavy short covering. 1t
said that Wall street and western interests
were buying covers in a large way. In the
early afternoon the trading months were A. TO
80 points Up. May being Quoted at go Spots
lifted 10 points to 33.63c for middling,
new high level.
Back Of the buying was, first of all. a much
better feeling regarding the situation in France.
The demand was further increased by reports
Of continued heavy buying ahead of cotton
goods by the government Mills of the
try more and more are becoming occupied with
contracts TO the exclusion OF civilian bust
ness and this is causing a greater pressure to
buy spots.
4 feature working for higher levels was the
large mill takings. The increase in the Ia kings
is in line with predictions made some time ago
that the cut Of sight movement would increase
with the return Of warm weather and the i'm
proyement in the transportR tion facilities of
the country that would follow
The market advances as easily as ever and
the strength Of the market seems TO warrant
higher prices than we have yet seen.
