NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Sept. 18.-The cotton
market opened steady today at an adj
vance of 5 to 9 points and sold IL to
Is points net higher shortly after the
call on covering, Liverpool buying
and a renewal of bull support Bull
ish private condition figures and crop
advances stimulated the buying
movement as well as relatively firm
cables, but there appeared to be con-
siderable cotton for sale around 1859
for December and 1877 for January.
This checked the advance with later
fluctuations showing reactions of 5
or 6 points from the best. Two private
crop reports were issued, one MAX
ing the condition 81 and the other
59.4 comparing with SAT- at the end
of last month.
After reacting to 1850 for Deem
Der and 1858 for January under
southern selling and local pressure
encouraged by a feeling that present
good picking weather would be fol-
lowed by rapid increase in the move
ments, offerings slackened and the
market was quiet around midday
with prices ruling some 10 to 13
points net higher.
The market became active and
firm during the afternoon. Wall
street and uptown shorts were cred
tied with covering on the advance
which carried prices about 81 to %
points net higher with December sell
ing up to 1888 and January 1896.
Cotton futures closed very steady.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Sept. 18.-Several
bullish private bureau crop reports
pointing to low percentage of con-
dltion from the government for Sep
TENDER, caused moderately large buy
ing on the opening of the cotton
market here today. In the first half
hour of business prices were advanc-
ed IL to IA points.
The market developed a bull but
steady tone. Prices were well sus-
tanned at about the highest levels.
At noon the trading months were at
net gain of 9 to ID points.
Important buying developed in the
afternoon based apparently on pri-
vate bureau reports. In the trading
up to 1870, the advance was widened
to % to 80 points.
Spot cotton steady and unchanged.
Sales on the spot, $50 bales; to ar
rive, 1885 bales. Middling, 1913.
The cotton market closed firm at
net advances of 81 to 80 points.

COTTON RALLIES AFTER BIG
LOSSES WHEN MARKET OPENS
Belief That German Note Was Unsat-
isfactory Caused Decline

NEW YORK May 5.-The only sub
ject of discussion on the Cotton Exchange
before the opening this morning was
the reply from Germany on the subma-
rine issue, and it was the consensus of
opinion that the answer was unsatis-
factory. This resulted in a wave of SELL
ing at the start which forced prices Of
the active months down is to 81 points.
September was IL points lower. The
tone was weak, There was some buy
ing of a good character at lower levels,
however. Timid longs sold out at the
start, and some bears, who were caught
in the recent sharp advances, openly
hammered the market.
After the call the buying increased,
and although there was continued heavy
offerings, the demand finally absorbed
everything at the lower levels and forced
rallies of six to nine points before the
end of the first 15 minutes. Trading was
more active than at any time in two
years,
squirt of trade buying in the early
afternoon carried prices back to within a
point or so of Thursdays finals The
German note appeared to have lost it's in
f1uence as a bearish factor, and the
persistent demand from spot housese led
many of the earlier sellers to replace their
cotton. Spot markets were officially re.
ported unchanged to 'Isc higher.
The weeks movement into sight toalled
1883 bales against 1926 bales last
season. The movement into sight during
April totalled 570,330 bales, against
1,00S,3s6 bales last year
Exports of cotton for the day were
1906 bales, against 36,991 bales last
year. Today's shipments included 11,572
bales for Great Britain and 4S3 bales
for the Continent Total cearances for
the season to date were 4,551,037 bales,
