New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans October 3.-Bullish sem
 timent carried the price of cotton up
 another cent pound today in the
 face of heavy realizing of profits by
 recent buyers and considerable vol
 ume of hedge selling by spot houses.
 All months went above the 2o-cent
 level october going to 25.65c pound
 Spots shared in the rise, being marked
 up 93 points to 25.25c for middling. In
 some respects the buying was a con
 tinuation of the upward movement or
 yesterday, but sentiment in favor of
 higher range of values was increased py
 the cold weather over large part or the belt. the strength of spot markets and the unfavorable showing of the weekly returns concerning the crop from the weather bureau which were quite generally accepted as indicating further deterioration since September 20, the date of the final condition report by the government.
 Opening at the advance, the market mounted swiftly until the most active months were 100 to 101 points up. Brokers had received a large number of buying orders from the interior overnight and the falling of these created demand which the ring found difficulty supply ing After the first spurt there was a reaction of about 20 points, but fresh buying came in on the soft spot and in the afternoon prices were 10S to l0s points up at their best The close showed net gains of 92 to 107 points.

CENT ADVANCE IN COTTON MARKET
Reduced Crop Prospects Creates Bullish Sentiment
 Among Trade

New York, October 1.-The cotton mar ket showed renewed activity and excite ment today with further advance of more than 1 cent pound in prices. De- cember contracts, for instance sold up to 26.15c, or 123 points above last night s close, and more than $11 a bale above Mondays close, Heavy realizing sales were we'll absorbed on reactions of about 40 points, and December closed at 25.9Sc. with the general list closing steady at q net advance of 105 to 125 points.
 Overnight realizing and hedge selling was very readily absorbed at an opening advance of 90 to 4S points, and within 10 minutes active months sold 1l3 to l2' points net higher. The advance was then checked and the volume of business sub sided somewhat around midday, but of- ferings were well taken on the decline from 26.11c to 25.65c for December, and from 25 soc to 25.60c for January. The steadness of the market after this
 setback evidently inspired another wave of buying for long account, which sen' the prices into new high ground Tor tne

 Further advances were scored by cot- tor today, contracts rising over 1 cent a pound, while spots rose 93 points. In some respects the advance was con tinuation of yesterdays upward move ment, but additional bullish sentiment was created by the continuation of Il cold weather over belt, and the 2 ing realization that this Is a short crop. The belief is gaining ground that pres- ent prices do not discount the small crop grown this year, already cornpl etely picked in some sections of the belt. and the justice in the claim of farmers that they should receive prices in proportion to those commanded by other commodf- ties is receiving more general recogni- tion Hence a buying movement of inn portance is developing. The legitimate value of cotton is still above prevailing levels and we believe in buying. espe- cially on the reactions

 Thomas Gibson shares my views in
 regard to the recent poor statements of one or two railroads.
 Cotton resumed its upward trend to- day and the net result of the days trading was an advance of about cent per pound Overnight buying
 orders started the ball rolling early
 and the weekly weather report of the government, confirming deterioration reports since September 25, the date to which the government condition re- port was made up, brought belated shorts to cover.

 to small reactions and much higher prices
