COTTON
NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, March G. Up
Cotton futures climbed S1.3O to
$l.00 a bale in active dealings
today. Aggressive mill and out
side buying pushed prices up about
$500 a bale, but persistent hedg-
ing and profit taking later pared
part of the advance.
The market was influenced by
continued strength in textiles and
growing tightness in spot cotton.
Buying in the new crop months
was stimulated by Washington
reports that the government will
continue the present 2 cents a
pound cotton export subsidy.
There were nine additional
March transferable notices, but
these were promptly stopped by
a leading spot firm.
Futures closed $1.30 to S1.8O a
bale higher than the previous

A few rails attracted backing but
the bond market as a whole sput-

Some carriers, principally the
lower priced liens, managed to get
ahead as much as a point or more.
Most changes, though, wer post

Hollywood:
Some Film Folk
Set Straight
The Record
By sheiloh 6rohom

Glenn Ford wants last word
with his bosses at Columbia. Glenn
has two more years to go on his
present deal with the studio. He
has been asked to sign a new,
straight seven-year deal. Glenn
says he wants time to think the
matter over. In short, don't think
he wants new contract because
he'd rather free-lance when his
present time is up. "Or have a
more flexible deal so I can make
outside pictures. So,' says Glenn
to this reporter. II think I'm being
punished by getting less important
pictures" I don't know about
Glenn, but it's an old Hollywood
studio custom to bring stars to
