COTTON

New Orleans, May 12.-Higher
prices prevailed in cotton last week,
buying being stimulated by unfavorable
crop accounts. and the better sltua-
ton in the spot department. Lowest
levels were made on the opening ses-
,sion and the highest prices were
toward the end of the week,
when the active months were 224 to 272
points above the close of the proceed
ing week. On the closing session, a
wave of liquidation was encountered
which pared down the gain materially
and the net changes for the week were
advances of ITO to l55 points.
The gist of the crop accounts was
that the stand was poor and that much
replanting was found necessary. while
the growth of the plant was slow. In
the spot markets of the south, the high
est basis on record was reported on
hedged cotton as the result of a de-
mand which appeared to come chiefly
from American mills, although there
was much talk OF an increased foreign
export movement.
This coming week is likely to see
a weather market as crop and weather
accounts are the most important rea-
lures now in sight. Returns from the
belt will probably be more or less
conflicting for the indications are
that the market will open on reports
of rain while the weekly government
accounts, due Wednesday, will prob
ably be favorable. Rain in the belt
at this time is highly unfavorable be-
cause there is enough moisture in the
soil for the time being, and further
moisture would retard the cultivation
of the crop and result in foul fields
The weather conditions of last week
were such as to lead the trade to ex-
pect more favorable government re-
ports than have been issued in any
week since the first of April.
Spot news will be important espc-
cialiy if any further strengthening or
the demand is noted
