Trading in Cotton
Futures Is Resumed
On Exchange Here
Unprecedented Situation
Ends When the President
Signs Repeal of Amend
ment; Liverpool Gains

The New York and New Orleans cot
yesterday afternoon after being closed
the better part Of two business days,
and trading in futures was resumed
for the first time since Friday after
noon
The unprecedented situation came
to an end after confirmation had been
received that President Wilson had
signed the House resolution repeating
the Conner amendment to the agricul-
tural appropriation bill previously
signed by the President.
The Liverpool exchange, unhampered
markets, carried on lively trading for
the two days and is said to have reaped
a harvest With the Conner amend
ment repealed the form of contract
now used by cotton traders was legal
lied.
Uncertainty regarding the status of
the contract was not eliminated by the
official announcement that the Presi-
dent had signed the corrected agricul-
tural appropriation bill until after the
unexpectedly poor government report
for May % was issued, and both the
American futures markets were closed
when the condition figures made their
appearance, while Liverpool was open.
The domestic markets opened an
hour later, and while the surprise of
the figures had subsidized during the
interval there was a rush Of buying or
ders at the start which sent prices CT
to rs points higher. October contracts
sold up to $500, or 81 points above the
closing price of last Friday, but the
advance met a great deal of realizing,
|, 81 al, ,loI al Nv
while there was also selling supposed
to be for Japanese account.
This eascd the market off. as the
volume of demand was not heavy after
the first squirt of buying subsidized, and
there We're reactions of some 40 or SO
points from the best, with the market
closing barely steady at a net gain of
to A5 points on all months except
August, which was 10 points lower.
The government condition figures com
pas low wren rfcor or May U.s. and ns h
tenyear average The most bullish of
the private reports issued during the last
had pointed on the average to a condition
of G5.S, or 3.4 points above the official
figures The revised figures acreage
planted and picked last year ran above
eXpecta ions, but the lack of better sus
tanned response to the crop Indication was
attributed chiefly to unsettled outside con
ditions and the liquidation of long con
tracts carried over from Friday Of last
week.
The weekly report Of the Weather Blu
reau, which appeared at the same time
as the condition report also made
bulish showing. particularly with refer
ence to Eastern belt and Northwestern
sections. southern spot markets as Off
cially reported We're unchanged to so
points higher with middling quotations
ranging from 10000 to 4l.76c, compared
with 3S 0Oc the closing bid for July con-
tracts in the local market.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and unchanged, at i0c for middling
upland; no sales were reported.
