New Orleans Cotton Market
New Orleans, April 25.-The coolest
weather in the memory of the Oldest
brokers caused strong opening in the
cotton market with the new crop options
ut an advance OF 81 points over Satur-
days closing. The old crop months were

that millions of acres of cotton had beer
destroyed. The situation was aggravated
