COTTON SCARS On
PEACE REPORTS
And Dig Buying

New York, June 20.-A renewal
of excited general buying sent all the
new crop months into new high
ground in the cotton market here to-
day. October contracts sold up to
$32.46, 25 points above the previous
high record. The general list closing
steady net unchanged to % points
higher.
The opening was somewhat irregu-
lar with July relatively easy under
liquidation in advance of the notice
expected next Wednesday. If any
thing, the early weather map was a
shade better than expected, but Liver
pool made firm showing, and the
early offerings We're soon absorbed.
Brokers with Japanese and Liverpool
connections were among the buyers
while there was active covering with
the demand becoming more general
and excited following reports that the
cabinet had fallen. The market ad-
vanced very rapidly late in the morn
ing. The buying was probably en-
couraged by the detailed weather re
port showing showers or rain in Tex
as. The advance attracted heavy
realizing, however, and prices broke
during the afternoon. Prominent To-
cal authority estimated the acreage
at 3S,045,034 compared with Al, 107.-
APO last year, or a reduction of 7:45
per cent, but today's report was not
considered an important factor.

which carried the active months be-
low the closing quotations of yestcr

small, being advances of but to IL

got the rumor that the president had
signed the rehabilitation bill, there
by doing away with the first of July
prohibition, it livened UP Immediately
and prices rose sharply. Further
bulges followed the rumor that Ger
many had signed the peace treaty.
The denial of both rumors had no
effect.
Liquidation later brought about a
net decline but toward the end, the
tone steadied on the larger mill TAX
ings for the week, 100000 bales, ac-
