New Orleans Cotton Market
New Orleans, March 4.-Cotton futures
opened steady at an advance of Il to Ia
points on a much better Liverpool market
than expected. Shorts were thrown into
some confusion by the strength across
the water and they covered extensively
on the first call. Bulls were also agrees
sive bidders and in the first half hour OF
trading the more active months were IA
to is points up. Continued rains in Texas
and the promise of more to come caused
long liquidation at the top of the rise and
prices fell off to points. The liquida-
ton was noticeable in October. The old
crop months derived considerable strength
from encouraging reports from Manches-
ter and the continued large sales of spots
in Liverpool.
At the middle of the morning the mar
ket was 10 to u points down from the
top on the story that was going the
rounds that New York was shipping cot
ton back to this market. Investigation
showed that eight bales were shipped
hack here from New York last month
and that such a shipment was a natural
order of things, for during the last year
110 bales have come back, all reflections.
From the middle of the morning the mar
ket was stronger on the forecast of frost
in Texas The fear that this would XIII
young cotton and make replanting neces-
sarv caused some little buying and at
noon the market was quiet and steady at
a net advance of 10 points on the old
crops and to points on the new.
In the afternoon session the market de-
veloped a weak tone on general selling,
based on the better crop reports coming
in and prices broke to a level of II to l3
points under Saturdays closing. Shorts
were good proft-takers on the decline
and their buying steadied the market to-
ward the closing, which was steady at
net decline of to 10 points.
