NEW YORK COTTON

New York, Oct. 10.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of to Is points today, and sold Is
to 20 points net higher during the
early trading, with December touch
ing 1928 or within a point of the
recent high record, while January adj
vanced to lib The opening advance
here was hardly a full response to
firm cables, owing probably to feel
ing that higher marine war risks JUS
titled wider differences, but some of
yesterdays sellers seemed to be re-
placing their contracts on a less ap-
prehensiye view of the shipping situa-
fion. There was also a renewal of
trade buying and the market was
fairly active during the early session
with the firmness of December en-
couraging some fresh buying of later
deliveries.
The early advance carried October
to IT cents for the first time this
season while December sold 1929 or
even with the high level of Saturday,
and January at 17.15 or about 15 to
% points net higher. One of yester-
days buyers seemed to be selling on
this advance, however, while there
was little more hedge selling from
southern sources and the market be-
came unsettled late in the morning
with prices easing off or 10 points
fro mthe best.
Realizing was well absorbed on the
reaction to 17.16 for December and
1904 for January during the middle
of the day and prices steadied up
again early in the afternoon maxim;
new high ground for the day around
2 o'clock when December sold at 1880
and January at II 10, or about 20 to
rs points net higher.
Spot cotton, quiet; middling upland

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Oct. 10.-Bullish
cablegrams from Liverpool and high
er futures there than due caused a
steady tone and moderately heavy
buying on the opening of the cotton
market here today. In the first half
hour of business, prices rose II to II
points.
The demand increased as the result
of reports from the interior that spot
owners were not meeting the decline
in contracts. In the trading up to
noon, prices wet to level of 16 to
10 points over yesterdays close.
Cotton closed at an advance of 80 to
