COTTON IN new ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS, September 5.-Cot-

many months previous and prices

Der rising. at it's best, to 1856 and
May to 1922. January touched Is cents

that mark. The opening session saw
the lowest levels of the week and the
closing session the highest. New
high levels for the season were made
daily. At the highest the leading
months were 221 to gas points over
the close of the preceding week, and
at the lowest they were to points
under. On the close the market show

The one great factor back of the ad-
vance was the governments report
on the condition of the crop on Au-

i was heavy buying on anticipations
that it would be bullish. and there
was even heavier buying after 1t was
issued. because it was more bullish
than expected. the percentage of 49.3
being the lowest condition report ever
issued by the government. This con-
dition pointed to crop of but 1887
900 bales.
Some of the strength on the close
was derived from reports that many
mills and wholesalers were withdraw
ing lines of cotton goods from the
market and that in many other in
stances they were refusing to sell
large quantities of goods at the prices
prevailing. Manchester sent over
more hopeful views of trade there

trebled the following year. and the
big firms had to look around for
more capital in order to meet the de-
