Now orleans cos.on Market.


 New Orleans, Noevmber 1.-The market 1 for spot cotton was tolerably strength ened today by the stiff upward movement l in contracts following the announcement of the first killing frosts In the belt and factors were disposed to hold their 1 stocks above Saturdays level. Buyers were quite prepared to make liberal con | sessions in order to secure desired lists. | The government has predicted a heavy killing frost for tonight pretty wei throughout the belt, and 1t Is almost a foregone conclusion that the effect will | be to induce rush of buying orders | from the mills Sales 72oO bales, including 2900 to arrive. Quotations up 1-16 on all I grades.
 Considerable activity was displayed by operators in the market for contracts, I the wide range of fluctuations in prices l giving ample scope for room trading, as | well as field work, and this though condi- | tions at the outset were decidedly irreg- ular. The sharp advance in values pre- l dicted upon the appearance of killing l frosts in the cotton belt and promise of cold weather for tonight, served to at- 1 tract investors in goodly numbers, and | the commission firms were kept fairly l busy attending to the execution of orders. 1 The market opened IS to IS points higher, but after the opening fell away sharply to the extent of 8 to 12 points under the influence of realizing sales, but the back l set was only temporary, and prices moved up again some to points, leav- l ing the range at the close 10 to Il points above Saturdays closing fgures New Orleans, November 4--Cotton firm; sales 72oo; ordinary, 6c; good ordinary, I 61kc middling. 71-6c; good middling. z | 11-16c; middling fair, 15-16c; receipts, | IT, 450; stock, 1S03s6.
