SMALL TRADING
ENDS IN DEADLOCK
Nearness of Government Re-
port Caused No Desire to
Increase commitments

New Orleans. September 2s.-There was
small trading in cotton today and the
market was in deadlock because Of
conflicting influences. There was little
desire on the part of traders on either
side to increase commitments in view OF
the nearness OF the government report.
At the best Of the day prices were to
points over yesterdays close and at
the lowest they were to points under.
The close was 3 points higher to point
lower than yesterdays last quotations
The opening was at the decline because
OF poor cables. but the market was held
steady by the rains in the central belt
and prospects of colder w-z.her in the
west Moderate selling developed on the
rumor that private bureau had returns
Indicating a total ginning to September
%, of from 1896 900 to 4.390O0O bales, as
against the previous record ginning to
September 25, Of $4,000 bales in 1911.
The market was held steady. however.
by cablegrams from Liverpool. which
quoted official statistics showing an in
crease in English exports of both cloths
and yarns.
The effect of the reported heavy gin
ming figures was offset to some extent
by kilograms from Texas stating ginning
was practically over in some districts

| Notwithstanding that the outset
prices, responding to the news bout
Greece, took a quick downward swing,
| the bulls soon regained control and
then lifted the market without any
subsequent material check. 1t was con-
tended by some authorities that the ac-
ton of Greece had been largely dis
counted in advance and that one effect
would be to facilitate North American
breadstuff purchasing for her account.
In any event, the interest of trades
turned chiefly to the crop situation in
argentina, where predicted rains had
failed to appear and where latest ad-
| vices indicated that whether moisture
came now or not the yield would be
seriously curtailed.
| Exporters were more active buyers
] of wheat than was the case on the pre-
vious day. One of the incentives to
foreign as well as domestic buying
was gossip that, although threshng in
the northwest had been virtually COM

was extremely light and that farmers

ihave adopted a holding policy despite

sections of Oklahoma, but suggested
warmer weather tomorrow, which was

New York, September 2S-The cotton

occasional hedge sale. Some nervousness

denced as we approach the government
grning and condition figures on Monday.

may cause prices to sag moderately be-
fore Saturday. The professionals seem
to be buying little cotton on all breaks
but are not aggressive. Liverpool was
credited as being a moderate buyer here
this morning. On any sharp break be-
tween now and Saturday we favor pur-
chases.

Avery's Letter

Liverpool was several points better
than due on the opening this morning
but sold down slightly under parity
with our market before the opening on
this side. Gables stated tile decline was
caused by hedge selling.
Our market was again embarrassing,
holding steady within range of 10 points
throughout the session with the close at
about the same Level as yesterday.
The National Ginners' association re-
ports the condition at 1873 and ginning at
from 1925 900 to A, 1885 900. both of which
are about in line with expectations.
The condition reports of this bureau
have been ginning slightly over the gov
ernment's figures and today's report
would indicate government condition
around SIS.
Weather conditions are unfavorable
over the central and western belt, Texas
and Oklahoma reporting ''northerner'
with frost predictions for that section
tonight.
Spots were unchanged all around. There
is some talk of the heavy movement
taxing the capacity of the banks in some
sections, but in our opinion the south
will have no trouble financing the crop
and at the present rate at which 1t is
being absorbed it will only be short
