Vvw York, July 13. -Cotton has ad vanced sharply and the reasons stand out with striking clearness. Bains and cool weather in the Atlantic, Eastern Golf and Central sections bave had much to do with it. Reports of dry hot weather in Texas have nadsome-af fect? The general backwardness of the crop and a growing belief , in many quarters that the acreage was reduced 7 or 8 per eent also contributed to. the rise. Then there were large spot sales in Liverpool amounting to 10,000 to 12,000 bales a day. There was the ac tivity and strength hi'; Manchester as regards both yarns and cloths. There waa the strong spot situation at the South coincident with a persistent de mand, especially for the better grades which were by no means easy to get, even at steadily rising prices. Finally therewas an active and broadening speculation hex, for a rise. Shorts here and at the South and West have cover ed en a large scale. Memphis, New Orleans, Chicago and New York have all liquidated short accounts on a acale that has given a powerful impetus to the upward rush of prices. Not leu powerful has been the big buying for a rise partly by the outside public, which after a recent advance of nearly SS a bale has apparently become convinced that the bulls in cotton have been in earnest Liverpool and spot interests have bought freely. Wall Street bouses have in many cases bought and now all eyes are beginning to be fixed on Tex- East of the Mississippi there have been complaints of excessive rains and of damage in parts of the Eastern gulf section by cut wormr, boll weevil and caterpillars. But Texas now needs rain, according to the latest weekly gov ernment weather report Liverpool bas pricked np its ears. At times it has re ported buying there owing to a fear of the effects of hot weather in Texas. And although the crop reports from Texas have been as a rule favorable, some advices from parts of that State have been more than recently. Meantime the crop throughout the belt is said to average aome two to four weeks later and bulls predict that it will be-two million to 2,600,000 bales smaller than that of last year with spinners' takings approaching 16,000 000. On the other hand, the recent ad vance! in prices has been so marked that many are predicting a sudden and sharp set back sooner or . later. They point out that what is termed the technical position has changed for the worse, that whereas, recently the market was over sold, it now shows s tendency to-be coma overbought if indeed, it is not already overbought - On the 'rise big Wall Street bun interests have sold on an enormous scale. Abo certain spot loterests have sold heavily The long holdings sold out by big people have, itls contended, gone into weaker hands. It is also "argued that there is still time to raise s, big crop and that in any case the price of cotton especially in these times of the high cost of, living, is al ready 'high enough ilLnat indeed, alto gether too high.
