COMMERCIAL NEWS.

Collon Market

Messrs. Robert Barbour & Brother, Ltd, write in their monthly market report for June: -Cotton has without a doubt completely dominated everything 'else during the past month and provided within the small com pass of a few days a run' of sensational advances scarcely: { dreamed of as within the bounde of possibility by the people of this generation. The forcing up of prices at the end of May proved to be more than a mere repetition of end-of-the-month pressure and as,,soon as work resumed, after the Witsuntide holiday -ziens [were not wanting of the approach of serious disturbance The first note of real alarm was sounded by the United States Government Report, published on June 1, showing the condition of the new crop as 60.5-the lowest figure OI record. Compared with 77. last year and 80 the previous one, the announcement was far worse than had been anticipated and the market was suddenly wakened to a realisation of the probability: of a real scarcity of the raw material. We had all been în à if ol's paradise it seemed. From

14.53 at the close of May, spot cotton, following in the wake of future, was 15,51 on June 8, 16.65 on the 12th, 17.35 on the 13th, 18.00 on the 18th, and 19:37 on the 19th. At this point the Govern- ment stepped in and'the Liverpool Futures Market was closed until- the 29th ult., reopening under new conditions by the directors of the Liverpool Citron Associ- Iation with a view to discouraging further cotton speculation. A Board of Control was als ap pointed consisting of represent- ative employers and employees with full powers to act in all matters vital to the interests of the trade such as rationing, short time, fixing of prices, and apportionment of spindles allowed fo be rua. There is good reason for believing that the amount of cotton actually available: is- sufficient for ordinary trade requirements, but it is unfortun ately very largely on the other side with no tonnage available to bring it across. This is really the crux of the whole position and the best relief of all would be the arrival in Liverpool of a fleet of cotton ships. Until the panic buying of Futures began there were indications of a re-
