New Orleans Cotton Market
New Orleans, May 21.-The cotton
market opened after the holiday with
considerable activity In. the future de-
partment. The tone on the opening
call was steady and prices were to
points higher than Thursdays closing
level. Reports of heavy rains in many
portions of the belt where no rain
is needed and where too great a rain
fell will have the effect of putting
cron hodIv in Rraka and weeds.
caused nervousness among shorts and
created q good demand among outside
traders. In the first half hour OF trad
ing prices advanced until they were 10
to IL points over Thursdays closing.
The week end figures, issued this morn
ing, were not bullish but they were
more favorable than expected, spinners'
takings of the week being put at l92,-
900 bales, which was only 5000 bales
less than takings this week two years
ago and helped the market to some ex-
tent Because of the many holidays
this week in England the trade was
lacking for small takings.
Buying increased as the morning
grew older and buying orders seemed
to be about equally divided between
the long and short account. The fore
cast promised more rainy weather over
Sunday for the entire cotton belt and
from the middle of the morning on
gave the market a firm undertone.
Prices advanced until they were II To
10 points up on the more active months.
In the last few minutes of trading
large profit -tuking orders were received
from longs by commission houses and
few points were lost. The market
closed steady at net advance of IL
to 16 points.
