market more than recovered yesteI-

October contracts making new ngn

rather a better trade demand. CLOSING
prices were very steady and within
point or two of the best. at net
gain of from 20 to % points for the day.
Early weather advices included prl-
yate reports indicating good rains at
a few points in Texas and Okianoma,
but there was nothing on the oHlcla,
map to suggest anything like good genera
rains in the droughty sections, while the
forecast was for clear weather IN .tne

earlier week buyers caused some little IT
regularity right after the call, put the
general tendency of prices was nlknef

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, August 23.-The price
| Of cotton took on a stiff rise on the
weekend session of the market. going to
| new high levels for the week August
went over the tWelve-cent mark, and the
new crop months climbed up around liz.
The reason for the advance was the con-
tinued hot and dry weather in Texas and
| Oklahoma and the reports Of crop de-
terioration that accompanied it.
| On the opening the tone was steady and
of poor cables. Shorts covered freely
| around the call and widened the advance
to II to II points. At this level longs
were heavy sellers to realize profits and
| the market fell off about 5 points.
The market was flooded with kilograms
from the west around the middle of the
morning, and the gist of the information
they contained was that the damage al
ready sustained by the crops of the west
| could not be repaired. Experts advanced
the opinion that bolls put on after this
would not mature before the time for
frost. This steadied long buying on a
large scale and the market went ~ to -
points over yesterdays last quotations.
The close was steady at net rise of 10

The net results of the weeks trad
ing in cotton were an advance of As

made Saturday and the low prices
Monday. At the highest the trading
months were SO to 81 points over
last weeks close; at the lowest they
We're 13 to II points under. The range
was 81 to II points.
The advancing tendency of the mar
ket was caused by continued dry
weather in Texas and Oklahoma. To-
ward the end of the week sensational
reports of deterioration through heat
and drought came in and they more
than offset the influence of the scat
tered showers that fell in the two
states. Shorts covered throughout the
week and considerable buying for
long account made it's appearance.
Bulls continued to make claims of a
record breaking consumption and the
weekly statistics indicated continued
large mill takings, the visible supply
showing a decrease of 7O,67O bales
against a decrease this week last year
OF 28,177 bales and an increase this
