At the highest Octo- Der stood within 12 points of the highest of the season, made some weeks ago.
 Crop months were sent to new high seasons records by the best of trade ae counts from this country. better reports from Manchester and private bureau es- innate of 100000 bales as the total quan- tity of cotton ginned this season. These were also helped to some extent by the more unfavorable conditions in the belt and more or less buying arose from fur ther evidence of the strength of the spot positions Spots here were raised 12 points to 30 .50c pound. new high price for the sea son. May rose to 30. .26c and March to 30 60c. At the highest the old crops were g to 30 points up. On the close the market was p to a6 points up May closing at 30. 21c and October at 26 .32c.
 The wet weather in Texas caused excit- ed trading on the opening and excitement increased following the receipt of cables from Liverpool claiming that market would probably be shipped 10000 bales out of the New York stock.

While there was scattered southern selling and very heavy profit taking in the first 15 minutes, noticeable feature of the market was the advance in the October option, and this was due to indictment weather over parts Of the belt. There is no telling just how high the near positions will go. but it is understood that May contracts are in ra ther strong hands October from now on will begin to reflect the progress of the new crop.

STRENGTH OF NEW CROP DELIVERIES SHOWN SATURDAY

NEW YORK, March 3.-while al, months made new high records foI the season in the cotton market to- day. the feature was the increasing activity and relative strength oi new crop deliveries. This was at tributed to covering by shorts, trade buying, and shifting of commis- sion house interest from the ole to the earlier new crop months owing to the recent increase il their discounts. and prospects for further rains in the southwest. Oc- tober contracts sold up to 26.S2c ol 72 points net higher and closed al 2677c with the general market clos ing firm at net advance of 15 te e points. Old crop months were 1S to 31 points, and the active new crop positions about GA to 67 points net higher.
 Tho market opened firm at an ad- vance of to 26 points on bullist overnight spot advices from the south, favorable weekend reviews of the cotton goods situation. ant reports that private returns indi- cated total ginning for the season of only 9,7o0,000 bales. After show ing net advances of about 20 to 2i points for the old crop months, the market eased under realizing for over the weekend and scattered southern selling accompanied by rather conflicting reports from the spot market. There were reactions in consequence but offerings of new crop deliveries were quickly ab- sorbed and the strength of October and December contracts had sus- taining influence on the general list. The reported small private ginning figures were regarded as emphasizing the probability of a very strong statistical position at the end of this season which might be felt by carly new crop deliveries in case there should be any delay in new crop receipts. Trade inter- ests were credited with selling May and July. against purchase of Oc- tober while there was active GOV ering by both October and De- cember shorts. May sold as high as so.S4c; July touched 29.S5c but the close was 2 few points off from the best on the old crop deliveries. Some of the private reports reach ing here from the south this morn- Ing said that more cotton was of- fering and that demand was light. but most of them reported scarcity of supplies and firm prices.

Lack Of any particular news caused many to ascrioe the advance in october to nervousness on the part of shorts because of the big dis- count and delayed preparations for new crop in the southwest. Liverpool continued to buy in our markets on tile better reel. ing at Manchester, cables from that point stating there would be no reduction or time in mills using American cotton. spots followed the advance in futures and good demand reported from most of the south ern points.

 WOMAN WITHOUT COUNTRY
 An angry woman without coun- try has been expressing very forci- bly here her opinion of the law re- strlcting immigration into the Unit ed States. %This woman, born a Hun garian, recently married United States treasury official in Germany She tried to obtain an American passport but the American consul officials are said to have told her that she still was Hungarian. The E Hungarian consul. on the other hand, asserted that she was not now a Hungarian.
 The American officials have of- fered to give the woman wise di- rect to the United States on an affidavit stating the facts in the case; but they will not give her a wise to any, other country, arguing that she first must go to the United States and live there one year and be naturalized before she is entitled to passport and vises for general travel. The woman and her husband desire to go by way of England on their way to New York, but the bride cannot accompany her hus- band.
 Women from Mediterranean states the immi grafton quotas of which are filled, are in a worse predicament than the Hungarian woman if they are married to Americans as they cannot even get wise to the United States, direct but must register and wait their turn for admission. which may be a year in some cases. On the other, hand American women who marry Germans retain their Ameri- can passports and also may have German passports.
