New York Cotton

NEW YORK. Aug. 10. C4'--Cotton prices
continued their upward trend during the
past week with a smaller than anticipated
crop forecast by the Depa rtment OF Agrl-
culture the principal Strengthening fac
tor.
Active futures contracts in all deliv-
cries on the New York Cotton Exchange
showed net advance from the previous
week of $50 to ST 80 a bale at the close
of trading Friday. Best gains were in
the nearer positions. whereas in the pre-
ceoina week when the market registered
advances OF from S7.90 to Sl1 80 a bale
the most pronounced Improvement was in
the more distant deliveries.
The trade had expected crop esti
mate of about 100000 bales. but the
oficial forecast placed prospective produc-
ton at 9,290,000. Following issuance of
the report most active deliveries on the
exchange rose the full $40 = bale allow
On the basis of the forecast 1t Is ex-
pected that the total domestic supply Of
all cottons for the current season may not
be much in excess of II 900, 900 bales.
Domestic distribution for the coming | .
months is estimated at around l3,5od.00
bales, which would leave carry over at
the end of the season OF only about 3 $500
900 to 1000. 900 bales compared with a
carry over at the end OF the season Just
finished OF about 900, 900 bales.
Trade sources said 1000 ,000-ba!e
carry over next July 81 would be just
about sufficient quantity TO cover require
ments until movement of the new crop,
but there is considerable uncertainty to
whether better qualities OF cotton in such
a carry over would be adea.ate.
