New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, February 1S.-Improye. ment in spot accounts and reports of better inquiry for cotton goods caused buying movement in cotton on this mar ket today which put prices. late in the session, 66 to 91 points over the closing quotations of last week. It was a quiet day through and at no time was it a large market. The volume of contracts for sale was exceedingly small and moderate but insstent demand kept the trading at 8 constantly widening advance. Toward the close buyers of the early part of the day took profits and a small reaction from the highest resulted. Last prices were at net gain of 51 to "A points.
 Cable advces quoting English statistics to show that exports of both yarns and cloths from England during January were larger than during the same month last year had a bullish effect on senti- ment. Claims that large crop the com ing season was impossible because of the scarcity of fertilizers also had some effect.
 Little attention was paid to the political situation, not even the announcement from Berlin that the time limit for neu- tral exemptions in the submarine zone outlined by Germany having any ef- feet.
 The opening was at the advance in sym pathy with better cables than due. In the early trading prices were advanced 13 to 37 points By noon the rise amounted to 32 to 43 points. Prices were at their highest in the afternoon.

Policeman Bob Anderson had q nar3 row escape from instant death yegx terday afternoon, when ansWering-& hurry-up call he drove his motorS cycle into the rear of an automobifn driven by ". A. Reynolds, a we'll known building contract6r. The ims pact was sufficient to practically de- molish the motorcycle, to damage the automobile badly and to throw the officer to the pavement. tearing his clothing in several places, badly bruising his shoulder and inflicting scratches about his head and body That he was not instanly killed was due more to good luck than anything else.
 Anderson was riding west along Jeff ferson street, between First street and Central avenue, when Reynoldsl who was just ahead and moving in the same direction, started to turn in to a center of the-street parking stall. According to Anderson, Reynolds did not extend his hand to indicate that he planned to make the turn. AL though Anderson clamped on his brakes quickly his momentum was too great and crash followed.
 Those who witnessed the affair say that Reynolds was at fault in not giving the sign indicating he was to turn into the stall
