Cotton Jumps 81
A Bale on Heavy
Buying by Mills
Unfavorable Weather and
Purchases for Export Also
Factors in Sharp Advance
of Prices Yesterday

Net advances of from $465 to S7.Os
bale were registered by cotton prices
yesterday on top of the big gains OF
Friday. July cotton went as high as
31.1O, October 30.45, December 5000
and January 29,77. Closing prices
were near the highest. The strength
of the market was ascribed to unfavor-
able weather and continued heavy buy
ing by domestic mills and foreign
agents.
Showers were reported throughout
the cotton belt and there were heavy
rains in Texas. The soil in that state
was already saturated. AS the coming
government report will be based on
conditions as of to-day, it is believed
the report will not be encouraging.
The goods trades sent in reports Of
great strength and activity. Sales Of
print cloths in Fall River for the week
were said to be double those of any
other week in recent months. Southern
advices of a big foreign demand. for
actual cotton were received Spot sales
included 3,490 bales at New Orleans,
l,841 at Savannah, 2,941 at Norfolk,
2,918 at Augusta and l 300 at Memphis.
1t is declared that France alone has
bought $50,0O0,00O worth of cotton
here. The actual signing Of the peace
treaty is expected to increase largely
the volume of buying from abroad
1t is said the figures and supplies in
this country are misleading owing to
the fact that large quantities of cot
ton are held for shipment
Heavy foreign demands on American
textile mills are expected to continue.
1t is impossible, It is asserted, for
Europe, which has about two-thirds Of
the worlds spindles, to put its ma
chinery in operation with sufficient
labor and raw material to meet its
share Of the worlds requirements.
While the new cotton crop is nearly
all planted and under cultivation. and
while its condition is not believed to
be up to the average, it should be borne
in mind, say observers, that a spell of
dry warm weather will work wonders.
The greatest crop on record, they re-
call, did not give promise of a full
yield until early in August
In the local spot market, middlng
upland was quoted at $3.50, an ad-
vance Of 105 points.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

pronounced declines in the leading
foreign exchanges in this market last
week carried rates to the lowest levels

began. French and Italian exchanges
{ We're especially weak. Sterling also de-
cllned, but offered better resistance to
the pressure. Toward the close of the
week better tone developed and sub
stantlal recoveries were in order.
bankers with international connec-
tions attributed the fresh weakness of
the important foreign exchanges to the
continued delay in the signing of the
peace treaties. This has necesstated
the postponement of negotiations for
large private credits in this market in
favor of France, Italy and the other
leading European countries, neutrals

The Lackawanna Barometer

Buyers of the steel stocks at this
level are looking long way ahead
for justification for these prices. Lack
awanna showed considerable deficit
for April, after showing very small
earnings for March, adm for May will
show large deficit. This is a pretty
good indication of what United States
Steel is doing. Prices of the stocks
are not SO very far below what they
were when dividends were at the maxi
mum, and there was no lack of busi-
ness. The current speculation is evi-
dence of the proneness of Wall Street
to rush to extremes.-Clark, Childs &
