CONTRACT TRADE
MAKES SHARP RISE
Heavy Buying by Milling
Interests Brings High
Range of Values.

NEW YORK. June 9.-Trading In
cotton contracts here today was
again active. with the market
strong and prices making another
sharp rise, this time to the high
est range of values reached since
early in October last year. The
maximum rise reached in the mar
ket today up to 2:15 o'clock ranged
between so and 72 points from yes
terday's closing quotations, with
July and October going up to 22k
cents; December. 22.07. and Janu-
airy, 21.9o. The buying was of a
general character, with large
amount coming from milling inter-
ests for the first time of late in
recognition of the very uncertain
situation the new crop is now in.
and the necessity of covering them
selves with purchases OF contracts
in partly anticipating their. future
requirements.
Up to the present time most Of
the milling interest had been hold
ing out of the market. believing
prices even at 20 cents per pound
had gone too high, and the bad
start of the new crop had been
greatly exaggerated. Private ac-
counts are now so bad, however,
many have been impressed by them.
especially those coming from the
principal states of Georgia. Ala
bama, Mississippi, Tennessee. Ala
bama, Georgia and the Carolinas.
