The receipta.of cotton at .the ports bave been large. The . short , interest was -driven out by the aggressive' tactics of ; ' the leading bulls and a 'more or leas , shaky following on. the bull side took its ' place. ; The rise from the low point in the middle of December amounted to . nearly $10a bale and, according to all DrAMNlent. adnonvard reaction, even . if only temporary, waa t due. It came. , But powerful inteersts are still arrayed on the bull side. They contend that the weight of the crop is really off the mar-J 1 ket, even allowing for a grown crop of 16.o00.000 bales and a commercial - crop of 15,500.000 bales. ; They contend that something like 2.000,000 bales of the actual cotton has been ' contracted for several years ; ahead, beginning with next season, and tbat : of courae, such .' sales imust be hedged by purchases of the pres nt crop only to be switched in to the next later on, that these hedges must necessary ' be kept good.
