SMALL CHANGE IN
 COTTON MARKET
Net Change During Week at New Orleans Is
 Insignificant

New orleans, May 20,-The net price
 changes in the cotton market this week
 were small. On August there was a
 deoline of 12 points; on the other ac-
 five months there was an advance of
 10 6 points The high prices of the
 week were made on Thursday and the low prices were made on Monday. At the highest the market was 13 to 23 points over jast weeks close and at the lowest 1t was 12 to II points un- der. From the lowest to the highest there was range of 32 to S5 points,
 The week stdrted off at the decline on good weather conditions but leading bull operators did not allow the de- cline to go very far. They offered good support on all soft spots but at the same time appeared to be against very wide advance New high levels for the season were made on old crop months, July going up to 15.97c. It would have been an. easy matter to have nut July well over the 16- mark but bull interests themselves fed out enough cotton to hold the market down. Bears claimed that bulls were afraid of getting futures too far over spots, which would result in bringing much actual cotton this way for delivery or contrast
 News from England continued bull ish, private edvices stating that Man. chester mills were accepting large business ahead. From the dry goo1s centers of this country there was some improvement in reports and this caused some little buying of october contracts on the theory that mills will eagerly grab at early moving cotton.
 The weather of the week was more 1 favorable than otherwise, although | some complaints of drouth were heard | Light showers toward the end of the | week and the promise of more showers | over Sunday relieved the drouthy spots | in the belt according to the short side, but at all times the market was slow | to respond to favorable news from the | crop because of the strengthening in the old crop months and the big dis count under them at which the new crops were trading.
 In the spot department prices ad- , yanced -sixteenths, middling clos ing at Is 1i-16c against 15 1ac last week and l 5c this week last year. Sales on the spot amounted to 1244 bales az gainst 1908 last week and 2725 this week last year. Bales to arrive amount ed tc S790 bales against 1920 last week and 1473 this week last year.
