New Orleans, March 2l.-In the spot
cotton market prices were firm, some fac
tors holding their stocks above present
board figures. The news from the country
was bad. Rain was reported in many dis
tricts and the forecast said that more was
coming While some parts of Texas re-
ported planting, work in the greater part
of the belt was said to be at a standstill,
with planters giving their whole time to
trying to get cotton to market. Spot deal
ers say that very little cotton is offering
from the country. Sales 1900, including 800
to arrive.
The future market Immediately after
the opening took on strong advance that
carried prices to 10 points above the
closing of yesterday. Most of the trading
toward the closing the ring was quieter
than 1t has been for several weeks.
This caused an easing off of prices from
the highest point of the morning. The
board at the close showed net gains of but
