short hair by surviving the typhus-

who survive wear short hair because

Cotton Market Opinions

Houseman & Co.: We advise the pur-
chase of cotton on reactions rather than
on bulges.
j. S. Bache & Co.: We doubt if the pres
ent level justifies new bullish operations.
Munds & Winslow: We favor combining
purchases to sharp recessions.
Hayden, Stone & Co.: A good reaction is
more than overdue.
G. P. Ellis & Co.: We look for event
ually higher prices.
Hubbard Bros. & Co.: We would not be
at all surprised to heavy liquidation
on the first signs Of clear weather.
Z. II. Hooper & Co.: We advise pur-
chases Of new crop months on all recess
sions.
S. B. Chaplin & Co.: The market will
continue in a bullish trading situation with
an upward tendency to prices until a period
of settled fine weather prevails throughout
the cotton belt. <
Weld & Co.: We believe cotton should
be bought on any moderate recessions.
Lemborn & Co.: We are in a runaway
market and each new high is accepted
as confirming bullish views.
e. +. Hutton & Co.: Believe the mar
ket will sell much hi.Ir.
Norden & Co.: Continue to advise the
constructive side of the market though with
some conservatism as to buying on sharp
upturns.
