VIOLENT BREAK IS
 FOLLOWED BY RALLY
Prices Tumble 68-82 Points, Then Market Jumps Again Memphis Report Placed Con- dition of Crop at 59.S.

New York, Sept. 24.-The cotton market was extremely nervous and excited today, with sensationally vio- lent fluctuations A break of about 68 to 82 points from the opening prices occurred during the middle of the day, with December selling off from 24.40c to 23.5Sc. This was followed by an extraordinary rapid rally of 92 to IA points, which carried Decem- Der up to 2460 and that delivery closed at 24.05, with the general list closing irregular, net 2 points higher to 27 points lower. October was rela- lively firm during the entire day on covering and trade buying in antici- patton that few notices would be is sued on the first notice day, tomor- row.
 The market opened irregular at a decline of points to an advance of points. There was a good deal of realizing, after the big advance of last week, also some selling for reaction which was encouraged by rumors of higher marine war risks which sug- gested check in exports and talk of an easier spot basis in the Southwest
 Bullish sentiment was stimulated however, by a Memphis report plac- ing the condition of the crop at 59.S, against 67.2 last month, also by pros poets for showers or rains in the cas- tern belt, which would delay the movement, and reports of tropical disturbance moving northwestward, with a low barometer off the Carolina coast.
 The close showed reactions of about half a cent from the best under heavy realizing.
