BUYING IS F|TFUL
IN NEW ORLEANS
The Cotton Market Closed
at a Gain of Two to
Four Points

New Orleans, April 16.-Whil cotton
closed today at a net gain of only TO 4
points, the market at one time was to 10
points up and at new high levels for the
season. July was sent to loose and De-
cember to 10.51c. Buying was fitful and
fluctuations were nervous. Longs took
profits, but the ring found the fresh de-
msnd difficult to supply at times. A large
volume of business was transacted.
The main sustaining features were stat
istical exports to foreign countries for
the week of 171,074 bales being larger than
expected, while mill tal1ings were $4,000
bales against 10000 this week last year.
Reports of a good demand from American
mills and the optimistic tone of the stock
market also encouraged buying.
Against the market were the crop re-
ports coming in from the belt, telling of
fast Roadway being made with planting
and a growing disposition not to make
more than a moderate cut in the acreage.
These reports caused some selling in the
early trading which, coupled with liquida-
ton, put prices lower, but at the lowest
the market was only to points under
