COT-TON-Cotton maintained the
strength evident in all the other
principal markets. Prices touched
new high points for the present
movement and some new highs for
the year. Cash grades are strong,
quoting 2Sd2Sc. The setback Tues
day resulted from an overbought
condition. Peace news Thursday had
a somewhat disquieting effect Many
traders feel the cotton movement
will broaden soon The influx of
speculative interests from the west
has aided in advancing the market

Trend Of the Markets

bulish until news Of the Italian con-
troversy with all it's possibilities. near

day serious developments led traders
10 regard this factor as more than
temporary Barring an open split
between the allies, prices seem due to
reach yet higher levels before the
signing OF the treaty. Thereafter the
upward trend should be pronounced
and long continued. Some old timers
believe the market is running into
dangers. however, while others urge
that active government competition
for funds. through the medium of
taX-eXempt bonds at q percent will
affect prices adversely At present
the market is stimulated by the &C
tivity in retail trade, the splendid
wheat crop outlook. the easy money
market, and the prospect of early
peace followed by expanding foreign
trade; and retarded by the steel price
controversy. Mondays turnover ex-
eeeded 1900, 900 shares. Funds are
plentiful. Restrictions on speculative
use Of funds have not accompanied
the present loan. Since the fourth
loan the country has emerged from
war into comparative affluence.
GRAIN The government has a
virtual corner on wheat. The pres
ent visible supply is small and wheat
is selling from 80 a SOC over the fixed
prices. Great prosperity, reacting
upon all lines Of business is expected
when the new crop natures, and less
difficulty is anticipated i'm disposing

able surplus will approach 100000
900 bushels, however, one authority
declares, and even If Europe takes
500, 900, 600 bushels a surplus Of 400.
