It advanced. Of course, explanations, as plausible as prompt, were forthcom ing, hut the bald fact remained that the market refused to decline In the iiii'Srii. e of a widely exploited h«-;irish influence of real Importance. Bulls said the reason therefor was the great num ber of shorts who, of late, have counted on general rains, which were^lncluded in the weather forecast a few days ago, to weaken the market and give them a chance to buy in. their - commitments. Bears said the big fellows were buying and the crop killers were busy, and that, in the presence of such conditions, lit tle shorts had become frightened and scampered to cover.

But the bull makes out a pretty good case for him self by exploiting lateness of the crop both East and West and by the use of trustworthy advices from many sec tions, showing that repeated replanting lias placed the cron squarely on the de fensive. Nobody claims that the chance for a large crop has been eliminated, but many do claim that the status of the crop to-day does not warrant childlike confidence In an arbitrary result ap proaching the outturn of 1911-1912” Austin. Texas: "Crop prospects are very bright. It would take a long drouth to overcome the moisture which now is in the ground. Promoters of cur tailing acreage to artificially boost prices re considerably worried over the in- rease in acreage, which is larger than in any previous year. There Is a very large Increase In virgin ranch regions of West and South Texas." COTTON MARKET OPINIONS. I>>gan & Bryan: We feel that a further advance is not at all unlikely. Hayden. Stone A- Co.: There seems to he nothing in the outlook to stimu late bullish activity as long as the weather is favorable for the progress of fhe new crop.
