FURTHER ADVANCE
IN COTTON PRICES
Market Excited by Continued
Trsde Buying and Covering.
New Crops Firm.
nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 4.--There was a
further excited advance in the cot
ton market early today on continued
trade buying and covering. Cotton
for May delivery sold up to 30.32, or
II points above yesterdays close, and
nearly cents pound from the low
of last week. New crop positions
were firm also on reports of a very
strong situation in the spot cotton
markets and weather unfavorable for
farm work in central and eastern
parts of the south. October advanced
to 25.45, or SO points net higher.
New Orleans Prices Up.
NEW ORLEANS. April 4-The cot
ton market experienced a sharp ad-
vance of $50 bale in May futures
during this mornings trading, that
month advancing to 309S. or l24
points above the close of yesterday
and 43S points higher than the low
level reached last week. The bulge
was due to revival of activity in
dry goods, the largest sales of piece
goods of the year being reported in
New York yeSterday-250,0 pieces.
, Activity reported by Manchester and
brisk trade calling in Liverpool cou-
pled with continued bad weather,
helped the advance and forced ex-
tensiYe short covering.
The market again advanced in the
second hour of trading, carrying May
up to 1880, mainly on covering by
nervous shorts due to reported active
trade calling in Liverpool. The mar
ket then eased off about % points in
anticipation of small mill takings,
but when it was announced that the
taking would prove 100000 to 100000
bales prices shot up rapidly, May
trading up to 30.9S and July to 1892,
or 9S to 124 points above the close
of yesterday. At noon the market
was at the highest reached.
