New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 29.-The
feature of the cotton market here to-
day was the strength of october, which
closed at a net advance of Is points
as against net decline on other ac-
tive months of to 10 points. Octo-
Der was the strongest month on the
boards throughout the session and its
firmness was due to accounts of @
strong spot demand in the interior at
higher prices and reports of damage
as the result of the passing of the
hurricane inland over Alabama.
The opening was higher and around
the first call prices rose to IL
points. Buying was based on reports
concerning the hurricane, but the
market was held down by heavy Of
ferings. part Of which. at least, ap-
peared to be hedge offerings. Prices
fell to a net decline of to IL points,
but later recovered on the spot and
crop news, standing late in the session
to "a points above the level of yes
terdays close. A burst Of selling
marked the last few minutes and
prices slumped.
The cold weather in the western belt
caused much comment. but there was
little organized buying for long ac-
count at any time. At times Iquida-
ton came from the long side and it
was evident the nearness of the bureau
report was against fresh operations.

Stocks Get Supporting Order;
Cotton Prices Hold Their Own
By G. f. AVERY

Bears tried to depress the stock list
further today by attacking, what appears
to be the weakest stock in the list, name
ly, St Paul. Supporting orders, how
ever, came into the market and prices
closed with fractional gains. Call Money
remained at 6 per cent and time funds
were scarce. The market shows evidence
that the bargain hunters are abroad in
the land. The liberty bond issue was
in active demand and was quoted at 80
above par. The safety first crowd IRE

rived from the fear Of crop damage by
high winds and rains In the wake of
the hurricane. The bulges were met by
what was called hedge selling. which
kept the advances from being sustained.
Notwithstanding this selling, the almost
universal bad weather over the entire
cotton belt prevented any speculative
short selling. Spots were said to be in
active demand and some Allah ANA points

Shepard & Gluck's Letter

Nsy CdTHpUeII WH6.J
1t was a hesitating market in cotton
today but there were periods of strength
owing to improvement in spot accounts
and the extremely unfavorable weather
in eastern belt due to the passing north
of hurricane In the west unseasonably
cold. almost wintry, weather prevailed
and undoubtedly had much to do with the
good demand at higher prices in the spot
markets of Texas
We can see no reason for looking for
a decline with crop prospects constantly
being impaired by unfavorable weather
conditions, while on the other hand the
demand for spots grows and farmers
show an increasing unwillingness to
meet prevailing prices. It should also be
remembered that cotton now being mar
keted makes for more independence
among the producers. We look for high
er prices.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

From sections to the west Of the trop-
ical storm passing northeast over Ala
hama and Georgia many selling orders
were received, which brought about the
moderate decline of the day. The local
traders are anxious over the result of the
probable damage which might be caused
by the heavy rains, feeling that we
might receive bad crop accounts on Mon
day. Therefore, they were buyers during
the day. Hedge selling from other sec
lions supplied the demand, both at the
opening and at the close of business.
