NEW YORK, Oct. S.--Reports of frost in
parts of eastern belt over Sunday and indica-
tions for still colder wea Their, caused an adj
vance of about half cent in the cotton mar
ket early today. There had been buying on
the frost predictions of Saturday but at the
close Of last week traders had been inclined to
look for a warmer weather map this morning.
The official forecast for frost consequently
brought In covering well as fresh buying,
a good part of which attributed to for
eign and domestic trade interests. The mar
ket opened firm at an advance Of 10 TO IA
points above Saturdays closing figures, touch
ing 26O6 for December and $3.50 for Janu-
airy during the early trading.
The western belt forecast for freezing wealth
er in parts of Oklahoma and Arkansas and
frost In the interior of Texas served to in
crease the excitement later in the morning
and active months sold los TO 113 points net
higher with October touching 272O, a new
high record for the life of the contract. Jan
uary sold at 264s, making advance of &c
per pound from the low level of last month.
Realizing checked the advance at this level
aud there was some southern selling reac-
tions Of 10 or 10 points around midday.
Trading less active during the early
afternoon, but prices held steady at reactions
of 10 or Is points.
