NEW YORK, April 1l.-Trading in
cotton this morning was all or the
theory that the farm boards posi-
ton will push the summer months
higher. Local traders were good
buyers of July, while the new crops
were left to take care of themselves,
which was a little bit more than
they could do, as they had lost about
10 points at noon, while July had los
nothing. The market has suddenly
lost its broad character, both bulls
and bears seem to feel that some
thing important may occur before
May notice day, and in order to
take advantage of such an event,
a close shAet is best. The trouble
seems to be that it is hard to Wis
ualize the government doing some
thing that an individual would not.
Nevertheless, We do not believe the
co-operatives are doing anything
further than hold their position. The
market should go higher under these
circumstances, and hold advances
until some Of the cotton is Of
fered for sale.
