COTTON MARKET
CONTINUES TO GAIN
Final Bids Are Close to Days
Best, Up 50 to 68 Points,
With Spot at 1915.

Despite rather active week end profit
taking by local and outside longs. yester-
days cotton market advanced so to 10
points. At times the market was ner-
vous and a bit unsettled and early in
the afternoon sagged back to within
few points of Thursdays final bids. but
on the whole its undertone was strong.
The upturn was helped by bullish Fall
River trade reports. s-larp rise in Liv-
erpool frmness in the stock market and
more favorable week end statistics.
Liverpool prices were about 60 to 20
penny points higher at the time of our
call. Total sales OF spot cotton abroad
were $4,000 bales.
Reports from Fall River said that
sales of prints for the week ended last
night probably would exceed 250.000
pieces and that the cloth market had
tended during all Of this week to ad-
vance. The weather was none too good,
detailed advices showing temperatures
ranging above 100 degrees in many dis
tricts. Spinners' takings, 1t was re-
ported. probably would top those of last
week. during which they were 100000
bales
The local market opened firm to
points. Liverpool, spot interests and
local shorts were the early buyers, while
selling came from the South and profit
taking longs. The trend was upward
after the call and prices were about so
70 65 points net higher in the first hour.
Selling for profits increased during the
second and third hours the market slip
ping off gradually from the top. The
heaviest pressure was encountered after
midday. on the way down new demand
developed and the list recovered much
Of its loss in the fourth hour. Following
the active opening business was less
active and largely evening UP by pro-
fessionals.
Demand in the last half hour was
sufficient to lift even October to the is
cent level Gains ranged from SO to 20
points net. Part of the support came
from wall Street interests and was
based on the belief that Liverpool would
show important gains next Tuesday
when the local market would reopen.
Final bids were around the best. up 81
to 6s points. The local spot market was
UP 65 points to 1915.
