MISTS COTTON Good News From Washington and Strong Cables Send Values Across 13-Cent Level. NEW YORK. Sept. 8.—As a result of an announcement from Washington that the Senate bill taxing cotton futures 50 | cents a bale would not be effective for a year, coupled with much better ca bles than expected, commission houses 1 were overwhelmed with buying orders J over Sunday and the market to-day | was up 24 to 44 points in consequence. Weathef and crop dispatches were prac tically Ignored In view of the news from Washington, Tha feeling was that for a time, at least, the market would be governed as much by Washington news as by crop conditions. The census report, giving the number of bales of cotton ginned to September 1 at 794,006, us compared with 730.935 last year and 771,297 bales for the same time in 1911, had little or no effect and fell flat on the market After prices had increased their gain about 7 points from the opening an active selling move ment developed, which was believed to represent profit-taking by longs. The ring also sold. The late weather map, showing good rains in Texas, with In dications pointing to showery weather over the larger part of the cotton belt and cooler In the northern third of the belt, was responsible for the selling. Heavy buying by longs who liquidated on the rumor that the tax on cotton futures would become effective imme diately should tlfe amendment pass the House. This, howeevr, was denied by Washington officials, resulting in a gen eral wave of buying. October was pushed to 13.15; December, 13.12, and January, 13.03. Brokers who usually represent spot houses were among the principal buyers and some of the most conservative people are advising pur chase o’f cotton at this level. At the close the luarket was steady with prices at a net advance of 39 to 48 points from the closing quotations of Saturday. Following are-11 a. m. bids ir.
