New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, September 19.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at an advance of to points on good cables today. Scat tered rains in the cotton belt prevented full response to bullish private reports from Liverpool. Manchester continued 10 do a good trade. There was little resil- iency in the early trading Weather and crop advices were considered favor able in scope With the end of the first 90 minutes of trading prices were ' to 8 points higher than yesterdays closing quotations
 Scalping longs took profits rather heay- fly around the middle of the morning. Their offerings were of sufficient volume to weight against prices which went to a level 1 point above to 1 point down compared with the last prices of Tues day. On this fall large interests were good buyers In quiet way, and when the realizing abated prices quickly recovered, showing at their highest They were then 15 to F points over Tuesday. At noon the trading months were 15 to r points up.
 In the afternoon the market was quiet and steady. Half an hour before the close prices were slightly over yesterdays quo- tations.

New York, September 1S.-Cotton futures were firm and higher today on buying ap- parently inspired by apprehension of lower temperatures in the western belt, and closed steady at a net advance iof from II to 19 points. The opening was steady at an advance of to Il points on covering by sellers of yesterday. who ap- peared to be nervous because of firmness

There was a lot of cotton for sale at the initial advance, and prices eased off to points from the improve ment With frost reported north of the belt and temperatures as low as 50 degrees at some stations in the west, the selling was not aggressive and the western belt forecast for colder weather tonight in spired renewed purchases.
 Buying was stimulated by numerous un- favorable private crop reports. while some of the southern advices claimed better spot demand.
 Southern hedge selling here was less appreciable than Tuesday. Liquidation by early buyers caused slight recessions, but no accentuated weakness developed The market during the early afternoon sold about 19 to 2S points net higher. Sub sequent fluctuations were irregular and demand was less active late in the day. The apprehension over weather condl- tions continued to restrict offerings.

CORN SPECULATIVE
 EXCHANGE LEADER
Frost in the Northwest and Drought in Southwest
 the Cause

Chicago, September 1S.-Frost northwest and drouth southwest made corn the speculative leader today on exchange. There was a net advance of a@3sc to 1Ac. Latest trading left wheat varying from lsc off to ssc up; oats at a gain of isql4c to sse, and provisions ranging from loe decline to a rise of 21sc to De.
 Suspicion existed in the corn pit that a leading trader who recently returned from Europe had a hand in lifting quota tions. This added to the furry that ex- isted because of the frost in the north western edge of the corn belt turned out to be of the killing sort. T here was also a forecast of frost tonight in Iowa. Sl- simultaneously crop experts issued esti- mates to show that drouth damage in Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma had been more heavier than reported.
 Leading longs competed strenuousiy with shorts for the meagre offerings Of corn, and hoisted values almost in a straight line. Cash grades and the Sep tember delivery shared in the advance, September at one time showing an upturn of 21kc.
