This Relieved the Strain The Market Very Irregular for a Time Evidence of Continued Demand. NEW YORK, Aug. 29. Cotton took a sensation al jump today. Closing on Saturday at 16.82, after having sold at 1G.07 on Friday, the first sale of August today was 16.95 and inside half an hour shorts were trying to buy at nineteen cents a pound, or 218 points, $10.90 per bale, over Saturday's close and at the highest figure reached since the war of the states. 25 to 50 Points Between Sales. There were f requntly 25 and 50 points between sales, and only five transactions occurred in the advance from 18 to 14 cents, while shortly afterwards . the price was forced up to 20 "cents per pound, nearly $16 per bale above the closing figures of Saturday's and 245 points above the highest price reached by any contract during the fa mous bull season of 1903-1904. At this price W. P. Brown, the floor leader of the bull party, offered to sell 100,000 bales of August cotton. This relieved tlie strain and at the same time seemed to st a limit in the ad vance. Drops Back to 18.20. Several of the big local spot people sold when they found that the bulls were willing to give shorts cotton at 20 cents per pound and the price dropp ed back to 18.20 almost as rap idly as it has advanced. Only about 11,000 bales were sold at 20 cents and probably less than as many more chang ed hands on a drop from 20 cents to 18 l-2c. When the bulls made an offer to sell such a large aliount at 20 cents the local traders apparently con sidered that this price would represent the culmination of " the old crop bull campaign, and when August reacted there was some selling of the new crop positions. Trade inter ests were buyers on a moder ate setback, and. market dur ing the late fornoon was very irregular, ! with evidences of continued demand from August shorts at the decline. GEN.
