Cotton whirled up to the highest level in seven years today, tempt- i ing farmers to sell their next Oc tober crop and cash in on papei profits of over $500,000,000 regis tered in the last two weeks. Few planters, however, were eager to accept 14.15 cents a pound?the local quotation after a 95-cent a bale rise today?from brokers. ? The southern spot house average was 14.13 cents.) Most farmers, with none of this sea son's crop left, apparently be lieved there would be 15 cent cot ton or better. Soaring Prices They have seen cotton prices shoot up $6.30 a bale since Feb. 23, when spot cotton brought 12.89 cents a pound here. Thirteen cent l cotton came three days later and on March 1 topped the 1934 high mark. It continued to rise, de spite profit-taking, and with do mestic mills roaring and foreign demand clamoring, today passed the 14 cent level. It was the highest quotation since June, 1930. when spot cot ton brought 15.33. Cotton men are crying that there is no cotton. Booming prices nearly have stripped the small warehouses, farms and plantations of their usual carryover, which can be counted on in normal years to amount to more than 1,000 bales, i Cotton four and five years old is "oming out of retreats, and in some cases the producers refuse to sell after they get to market. For practical purposes, the only "free" cotton left for frantic buy ers is the 12-cent loan staple held by the government. This stock I totaled 3,046.000 bales on Feb. 1. j Last Friday. 615.000 bales had been absorbed by the market.
