COTTON MARKETS
Market BuOyant and Higher
Because of Peace Feeling
and Goods Activity.

Resumption Of trading after he
Easter holidays found sentiment still
bullish and, I'm spite OF excellent
weather over the entire belt during the
period, prices went higher. Most opin-
ions had II that the chief basis for
the hullish feeling was confidence Of
early peace and the expanding activi-
ties IN goods. both foreign and domestic
adyices having an optimistic tone. The
upward tendency In other speculative
markets also added to the buoyant feel
ing and helped to discourage Opposi-
ton to the advance.
over the holidays there was nothing
particularly startling. but there was
a welcome absence Of anything serious
~ threatening to prevent an early con-
summation Of peace. For a few minutes
carly this morning some little hesitanCy
was felt because the Italians were Of
fCting a problem to the peace confer
ence, but this was quickly offset by
the liberal buying Of contracts for
foreign and domestic account. One Of
the features discouraging 10 bearish eX-
pcctations was the activity Of Western
operators on the buying side, which
reflected spread Of the feeling that
peace win bring a revival Of demand
for raw material
Liverpool was closed, but private ad-
Vices told Of much better feeling In
trade circles over there and consider
able buying was done on this side for
that direction. The small amount of
raw material In hand Oyer there or
provided on this side naturally was
bullish in its potentis1ities while there
wal expanding business In the finished
material.
Opening prices on this side were not
much changed for the near positions,
hut New October In New York started
the day at 2b points to the good, at
PAS, a new high. The weather over
the weekend was good and prospects
were favorable for Its continuance. But
there was little for sale and October
soon had worked up to 24,6S. July,
which opened at 5 points advance, at
1856, shot up to 1925, around which
level profits we're accepted In a small
way and some reaction followed. This
did not go far, July dipping to 26.07
and October to 24.50, but later both
worked up to new highs, the former to
$3.50 and the latter to 2i74.
Another period OF hesitancy came, but
the moderate dip was followed by an
other bulge, due apparently to adyices
telling Of activity in spots In the belt
July sold as high as 26.35 and October
to PASS and there did not seem to bt
much pressure, although tho buying
