COTTON MARKET

LATE PRICES HIGHEST

Best Levels Of Day and at
go to 70 Points Up.

Tho cotton market yesterday was con-
n6erably stronger and n generally i'm
proved undertone was in evidence. There
vac a better class of buying by Wall
Street and the domestic trade. Cover
Ing was heavy at times. With the tech
hicai position improved. prices easily re-
sponded to even moderate buying or
Hers and many remarked that the mar
ket was oversold. New developments
bn' the outside were few. the industrial
situation being regarded as generally
improved. Fluctuations to n certain de-
the stock market and the betterment
there 1t times was broadly reflected in
the movement OF contract prices.
Weather news received a good deal of
ittention, the higher temperatures in
The Southwest causing not a little
pleasure in bull circles. Although the
map was generally better, the official
forecast for the Eastern and the West
ern belts reported scattered rains and
cloudy weather. Liverpool was decided
Iy aaay, opening worse than due and con-
tinuing its downward trend with more
or less irregularity. A narrow market
there was reported with heavy liquida-
ton. Spots, however, were In better de-
mand at a drop of 81 points, sales
amounting to 5000, more than they had
Ter long time.
The uneasy feeling in speculative cir
tles was mirrored in an unsettled open
ing, first sales being % points higher
to IS lower. Trading was mixed fol-
lowing the call. but a recovery was soon
the order. Brokers operating for Liv-
~erpool were active. selling the near de-
liveries and buying the distant months.
Sentiment was bullish for the time, but
most bears called the rally natural
after the recent sharp reaction. At the
lowest points. made early In the fore
noon. prices were only is to 80 points
below the close of Thursday. The ad-
vence throughout the session was steady.
II was in the late trading that the
highest marks of the day were estab-
lished, the last hour seeing options up
more than IS a bale in some cases. On
and off however, there was some lQui-
dalton, but never enough to cause more
than a small downward dip. Crop ad-
vices were buliish, with the boil worm
reported doing heavy damage In sec
tions of Texas. Many spectators were
inclined to remain out Of the market
Yesterday with the idea Of waiting un'
til a definite trend again should be
started, which made II a dull anair al
times. The close was slightly on from
the best levels OF the day and 60 to u
points higher.
