THE MARKETS
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, Sept. 19.-Peace ru-
mors and cold weather in the eastern
portion of the belt caused heavy
buying of cotton here today. In the
first half hour of business the market
rose 43 to 81 points. Favorable spot
accounts from the interior were a
stimulating infi1ence. Only a mod
crate supply of contracts met the de-
mand
Cotton opened firm. Opening bid:
October 20.46; December 20.07;
January 1920; March 20.42; May
20.6O.
The weekly crop and weather re-
ports from the government were con-
sidered unfavorable and increased the
demand, the advance widening to 81
to 81 points in the trading up to-
noon.
Realizing by longs checked the rise
in the afternoon. At 1870 the trad
ing months were IA to 70 points over
yesterdays close.
Spot cotton steady, 60 points up.
Sales on the spot 1872 bales; to ar
rive 1888. Low middling 20.37; mid
ding 21.00; good middling 2l.50. Re
ceipts 1900; stocks $500.
Cotton closed steady at an advance
of So to u points.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1917-09-20
NEW YORK COTTON

New York, Sept. 19.-There was
active general buying in the cotton
market at the opening today. A more
optimistic view of peace prospects
combined with bullish overnight spot
advices from the South seemed to be
the chief factors, while local covering
and fresh buying was promoted by
renewal of the demand from houses
with Liverpool connections. The open
ing was firm at an advance of IL
to SO points. These prices attracted
considerable realizing and there We're
reactions of 10 or 15 points but the
market soon firmed up again, selling
at 21.10 for October and Pip for
January before the end of the first
hour, when the general list showed
net advances of 81 to 20 points, late
months being relatively firm.
Buying became even more general
and excited after the publication of
the weekly weather report with Oc-
tober selling up to 21.50 and January
to 21.31, and with active months gem
orally showing net advances of II
to 81 points. This advance met in
creased realizing, also scattered
reactions of several points, with the
market less active around midday.
Later advices reading less favor
able as to peace prospects increased
the disposition to take profits after
the big forenoon advance with Janu-
arv easing off to 2O.98, or about 80
points from the best. The selling
was not active or aggressive, how
ever, and the market was firm around
2 o'clock, with December ruling about
21.32 and January 21.24. or IA to 76
points net higher.
