BY GEORGE WILLIAMSON.

Fairly conclusive proof of the great
amount of strength which underlies the
cotton market was furnished during the
past week. Most of the time weather
conditions were favorable, and reports
indicated tina considerable progress
was made in cultivation, although it was
by no means satisfactory in the belt
as a whole. This gave rise to some
optimism as to the yield outlook n
led to some liquidation by traders who
mad accepted for their full face value
the complaints of how poorly the crop
was doing.
But all the while there was a lack

ness was largely of negative charac-

bears apparently dared attempt to push

That was when the weather seemed
most favorable n advices from the
peace table abroad partook of uncer-
tain character.
The upturn found its chief inspira-
ton in the coming of encouraging opin-
ions as to what Germany would do
and the lack of willingness to supply the
contracts necessary to I'LL demand OF
the spot interests. When the weather
turned less favorable, in that rains
started again and another wet spell
seemed imminent, the buyers increased

son, exceeding the records of May 26 by
something like a dollar a bale. Some
liberal profit taking was INDUCED in

extend far and sellers were still gun
shy.
The result of the weeks trading is
that contracts in New York are Is to

Orleans finished at an advance of So

ness was rather small, due to paucity
of desirable offerings and to the fact
