New Orleans Cotton Market
New Orleans, April 22.-Cotton futures
opened quiet and steady at a decline of
to points on poor cables. Shorts were
inclined to be aggressive in the early
trading until the weather forecast pre-
dieting more frost tonight in west Texas
and Oklahoma was posted. This caused
selling to cease and prices recovered
to the level of yesterdays closing The
weather map was dry, which was taken
to be favorable, as dry weather allows
planting to be completed. Many sections
| however, are complaining that temper
atures are too low, which is causing seed
to rot in the ground The scarcity OF
seed for planting purposes is becoming
| an important market FACTOR ana pears
do not appear willing to enter into an
extensive campaign until more definite
statements can be made regarding the
progress of seeding.
| The Alabama spot failure during the
morning became the chief feature of the
market, owing to the uncertainty as to
where losses would fall. Liverpool ca5led
that both spot and future departments
in that market were idle and the dull
ness soon extended to this market and
under 1t prices fell off until they We're
s to 10 points below the level of yester-
days closing. The market would have
worked lower but for many kilograms
from Texas telling the necessity of re-
planting cotton destroyed by the cold.
Toward noon the market became steadier,
although as dull as ever, and at noon
the list was to points under yester-
days last quotations.
In the afternoon session the market
was extremely dull with long waits be-
tween trades. Prices up to 2 O'Clock
showed little change from the levels
reached at noon.
The close was quiet and steady, to
10 points below yesterdays close.
