 New Orleans, September 10.--Re- ports of unprecedentedly heavy rains In Texas and the steady progress of the tropical storm across the Carrib- bean sea threw cotton market into a frenzy of buying today and there were strong bulges during the greater part of the short week end session until the trading months were 127 to 175 points higher than the last quotations of yesterday, These levels tempted much profit taking by recent buyers and in the las tfew minutes of the day the sell ing out became so heavy that re action of nearly cent pound oc- cured. The close was at net gains of 25 to 100. October was the strong est month and 1t traded as high as 21.00c a pound and closed at 2O.25c.
 Reports from Texas were at first scarcely credited they told of such heavy rainfall disastrous floods and great crop damage Some sections claimed from six to 10 inches of rain and one section estimated the rain- fall at 22 inches. Following this the market rose to it's best for the day.
 The remarkable strength of Ooto- Der, which was at one time almost s9 bale up, was traced by many traders to the fear that weather con- ditions were creating great surplus of low grades and grave shortage of better grades. The trading of the day increased the discounts on the later months. March risir,r to 2O.e0c at its best and closing at 1s.55c. Uu- til recently, later months have been at premiums on the hears.

Euents of the Week
 In Financial World
 Sees Recession at End
By Associated Press

New York, September 10-Events of the week in the financial and com modities markets tended mainly to heighten the impression prevalent in informed quarters that the recession of the past IS months had come to an end. Further recovery of prices synchronized with reassuring state ments from professional shorts. These stressed the belief that the period of defla'tion had exceeded the limits of safety, and that the country was on the eve of another era of another prosperity.
 Washington and other official and unofficial points of information and observation voiced similar senti- ments. These were buttressed by ev- fdence Of increased production in such basic industries as the steel and textile trades.
 The further rise in cotton was hailed with satisfaction not only in the south and southwest but at prin- cipa1 reserve centers. Hopes were < entertained of a speedy release of the enormous credits so long tied up in that staple.
 Active buying continued in the bond market, that list for the most part reflecting a better tone than any but the more seasoned or rep resentative stocks. New offerings were so freely taken as to justify the opinion that investors had thrown off their postwar timidity.
 Large sums of money were avail able at fairly easy quotations for 60 and 90 days, but bankers intimated that moderate stringency might ensue in the coming week when heavy in come tax payments mature.
 The foreign situation as expressed in terms of exchange was the most disconcerting development of the week.
 Sharp depreciation of marks to an unprecedented level confirmed pri- yate advices respecting Germany's in- ternal affairs. Weakness of Belgian and Italian rates, as well as those or several of the new nations, notapiy Poland, was indicative of greater eco homie strain.

COTTON LEAPS ON
 REPORTS OF CROP
 DAMAGE IN TEXAS
Some Break In Last Hour, But Close Showed Net Gains of Twenty five to Hundred
 and Twenty Points
By Associated Press

New York, September 10.--Appre- hension of further crop damage as a result of the heavy rains reported in south Texas led to further and sensationally rapid recovery in the cotton market here today. Near months were again relatively strong land October contracts which had gold off from 21.5oc. the high record of last Wednesday, to 1Sc on Thursd n.y. advanced to 21.45c this morning. CT 190 points above last nights closing quotation, and within 10 points of the maximum permitted for the day. Other months sold 95 to 162 points net higher, but there was general effort to secure profits and heavy southern hedge selling which caused sharp breaks in the last half hour. and the close was barely steady, a1- though last prices still showed net gains of 25 to 120 points. December contracts sold at 21.45c, making an advance of over 3 cents per pound from Thursdays low level and re- covery to within 35 points of the high price touched on the crest of the recent bull movement.
 Market Irregular
 The market was irregular at the opening advance of p to 65 points and eased a few points right after the call under realizing by some of yesterdays late buyers. The offer ings were very quickly absorbed by trade buying and a broadening com mission house demand, which be- came more active and excited as re- ports came in regarding the heavy rains in south Texas. II was evil dently feared that these rains would lower the grade of cotton open in the fields, even If it did not materi- ally reduce the yield, and the ad- vance in the near months was ac- companied by reports that a demand was developing for old cotton in The local stock. There were also re- ports that shippers of high-gr cotton in the southwest were pay ing an advance or 25 points in the basis, and the demand for October here sent the price up to within five points of the best price touched on the crest of the previous bull move ment. feature of the late break of 65 to 90 points was active south- ern hedge selling. believed to be against purchases of spot cotton in anticipation of further advance m the basis. There seemed to be little change In the location of the tropical storm, which was said to be movir F very slowly, with no prospects of it's reaching the belt for another three or four days, if at all.

Many Cotton Goods
 Off the Market Until
 Staple Becomes Quiet
By Associated Press

New York, September 10.-Cotton goods markets have been much un- settled by the cratic cotton mar Ret and many lines of goods are off the market until cotton values are steadier. Higher prices on all cot ton goods are inevitable as the ac- tive trading this year was predicted upon cotton at Il cents or 12 cents, while manufacturers say they must pay around 20 cents. The seer tainty of higher values has aroused interest on the part of buyers for large organizations that need goods but have not bought because of poor business conditions. Cotton duck, tire duck, drills, and some other lines that were dull have been ad- vanced in price and more sales are being made.
 Print cloths are half cent a yard higher, while many sheetings are up from a cent to a half cent The branded trademark lines of sheets pillow cases, bleached muslins. per sales and many other cottons are yet to be revised on the higher price levels. In the meantime, nominal auotations are given out. and only spot goods are being sold. Manu- lecturers nave not Detn dpic tC puS spot cotton on the levels quoted In speculative centers, and have thus been unable to make firm prices on goods to be made.
 There is much questioning among merchants and jobbers as to their ability 10 sell as freely as they have been eoing after prices are advanced and only a test of the situation fol- lowing stability in cotton will re- lieye the market tension. Yarns are firm or the higher levels and many knit goods prices are being revised upward
 Prices current are as foiloWs' Print cloths, 2S inch, 61x64s, 6a cents: 64x6Os, 6H cents; 3Sl@ inch, 64xe4s. 91A cents; brown sheeting' southern stands, 13 cents; denims' 2.aoc; indigo, IS cents to lS1s cents' tickings. 2t cents to 22's cents' s.a- ple ginghams. 14H cents; dress ginghams. 1s1A cents to 20 cents; prints, Il cents.

QUOTATIONS WERE
 HIGHEST OF WEEK
 ON WALL STREET
All Leaders Added Substan- italy to Recent Gains, Showing Good Recover
 ieS Through Session
By Associated Press

New York, September 10.-Highest quotations of the week were regis- tered in the course of todays abbre- viated but very active stock market session. Virtually all leaders added substantially to recent gains, show ing recoveries of 10 to more than 30 points from last months level of de- pression.
 Shorts timidly resisted the move- ment at the outset. but retired in disorder when the buying movement assumed wide proportions. Oils, equipments, steels and motors were the most conspicuous stocks, rails holding back. Mexican Petroleum made an extreme rise of 5A points in confirmation of reports that Amer lean interests had reached a satis- factory agreement with the Mexican government. Shares of Pan Ameri- can, the controlling company, also strengthened.
 Baldwin and American locomotives General Electric, Bethlehem, Cruel ble and United States steel, Utah cop per, American smelting Stakeholder American Woolen and Central leath- CT contributed their portions to the diversified dealings.
 Realizing for profits over the week end proved strong temptation and in the final dealings reactions of to points were more or less general especially in the several speculative groups
 Another slump in German ex- change which forced the mark under one cent and the August report of the United States Steel corporation disclosing another decrease of nearly 500,0c0 tons in thrilled orders were among the days incidents.
 Last weeks nominal deficit In &C., tual clearing house reserves was can celled by an increase of cash ap- proximating S17,000,000 Actual loans and discounts were reduced by about $S,400,000.
 The bond market was active and strong in the more important issues liberties, however, showing only tri- fling changes. Total sales par value. $5,675, 900.
