NEW YORK. oct. 5.


The cotton market turned upward toward
the close and finished higher. Unsettled
conditions in financial circles were reflected
in decreased demand form Wall Street
houses and ideal weather conditions over
the south, encouraged expectations OF in
creased receipts in the future.
The tone was steady at the opening
October selling down 10 points and the
hrst transaction in December was at
loss OF 1S points. but the buying was so
persistent that before the end Of the cali
that option had sold up to net gain Of
points. Other positions were l to is
points net higher
The selling came from Wall Street and
western interests Welther conditions IN
the south were favorable for the crop, II
oelng clear and warmer in all sections Of
the belt.
The favorable weather reports checked
the advance late in the forenoon, and there
were reactions Of some 10 orI5 points early
IN the noon hour, under realizing and local
selling. The weekly figures showed con-
siderable increase in stocks at Liverpool.
but Liverpool was one of the chief buyers
mere during the morning.
