ID,- Thirty cent cotton became a reality today when October con t nuts on the cotton ex ? change crossed that level and went 30 points farther, or to 80.30, before the excited advance covering move ment was checked by active realizing ?sales. December contracts followed with sale* at. iiU.UO. these prices rep resenting net gaiiu* of 130 points, or about $0 a bale. Slight setbacks near the close left the market finally very nervous, but generally strong at net advances on active positions of 05 to 103 points. Today's ,yiolentnHUi>tuni to new high levels for the season marked the cul mination of a strong bull movement, which has been almost continuous since the end-July government report made it plain to the cotton world that tin- supply of the fleecy staple this year would fall considerably short of earlier estimates. It stimulated a demand from Amer ican and foreign mill interests thut readily absorbed the weight of first new crop receipts, in connection with the speculative 'buying that ensued, and started an advance that has add ed fully 0 cents a pound, or $45 per bale, to the value of the South's crop. The immediate cause of today's sensa tional rise was a report of floods in northern Texas and Oklahoma, to gether with predictions for cooler weather and a higher basis in the Southwest, which seemed to forecast an even greater reduction in the crop promise besides injuring the grade, j -? ? ?
