WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.

New Orleans, La, Sept. This
was a week Of constantly rising prices
in the cotton market. prices being the
lowest on the opening session and the
highest on the closing session. 1t was
a short week, owing to the holiday
on Monday, but a very fair volume OF
business was done The net change
was an advance OF IA to 81 points.
AT the highest the trading months
were IS to So points over last weeks
close, at the lowest they were a to 5
points over. The range was Ia to 81
points.
A great deal of manipulation was in
evidenc this week, certain operators
being heavy buyers in an effort, which
Was highly successful to dislodge the
weaker short interest. Much OF the
gossip of the week referred to the
usual late summer deterioration which
this crop has yet TO go through and
the fears Of the bears in this eonnec-
ton were played upon most success
fully. The weather OF the week was
not altogether favorable as not
enough rain fell in the western belt

large area.

Of the cotton region being very favor

crop.
The movement OF new cotton be-
came very heavy and at the most i'm
portant points actually became larger
than at the corresponding time last
year, when the crop was moving al
a record-breaking rate.
With all this there was little nraS-

spot houses claimed that growers were

secretary Of the New orleans Cotton
Exchange, exceeded that of the pre-
vious year by ~4,010,331 bales, yet its
money value was $10.,o14,S2o less.
This was due as much to the low grade
of the crop as to the decrease in the
prices resulting from misrepresentation.
1t was the lowest III grade. Of any
Urop for the past ten years.
MIR. Hester says that an acreage IN

bined with favorable conditions re-
suited in Il crop larger by $500, 900
bales than ever before recorded. A
further important factor. he says
which contributed towards the sue
cess Of this monster crop was that the
Dol! WeeVii was greatly reduced IN
numbers over it's entire range and
says that Notwithstanding the enOr-
nous quantity produced, very little
old cotton remained in the cotton
belt at the close of the season and of
that more than one half was held in
stock by southern mills. He approx
mates the amount of old cotton left
over at 5l6,000 bales.
Heavy Consumption.
Colonel Hester states tina during
the past year there was the heaviest
consumption Of American cotton on
record, exceeding the previous maxi
mum Of 1908-O9 by 1.353,0OO bales.
In reference to American mills, Mr..
Hester says the years operations
have shown greater activity than ev.
er before in the history OF cotton man
ufacturers. After two seasons of -un-
profitable business values were read
JuSted on a more satisfactory basis
and with an abundant supply the mills
north and south materially exceeded
their largest previous consumption.
He puts the worlds consumption OF
American cotton at 14,515, 600 bales,
an increase over last year OF 2,481, 900
and over h year before last year OF
1,761,00O. The insect was extermi-
mated in an area covering about 49,,

portion OF Texas and the western
